Absolutely flawless; her face looks directly lifted from a woodcut. How beautiful.

i've seen many photos of japanese women form the 1890s wearing western clothing, and they always have such style. they always do look so flawless, and their poise can rarely be matched. lovely!

Wow, must've been a new dress. Looks like you can still see bold fold marking!

Gorgeous. I love when the poor women don't look cinched to death.
