The fashion, particularly the combination of newly popular bobbed hair with longer skirts and large-collared blouses, strongly indicates the transitional period of the late 1910s to early 1920s. Based on the genealogical data, Esther Burd would have been around 20 years old in 1920, which aligns perfectly with the apparent ages of the young women in the photograph. The informal, candid nature of the shot is also typical of the snapshot era beginning to flourish around this time.

Clothing & Attire — AI Estimated

The women are wearing transitional fashion typical of the late WWI to early 1920s era. The adoption of bobbed hair shows modern styling, while the skirts remain relatively long (ankle or lower calf length). The blouses feature V-necks and large, almost sailor-style collars, which were popular at the time.
