interesting Victorian hose
I just picked up this old photo on Ebay.
First, about photo credit: I use this photo with the permission of myself, the owner of the original, which is here in my hot lil' hands. I paid around seven bucks for it, well worth it.

Overall the dress is typical of the sort seen in The Highlanders of Scotland, including the ankle boots. I find the hose very interesting, neither tartan nor diced nor plain. There's a pair a bit like these in The Highlanders of Scotland, hose with a simple line pattern.
