was 11 or 12. This was a solemn event with much preparation having been done by the child before hand, there were certificates and of course photos to go to all the relatives.
Girls at this time wore long veils and white dresses often with puffed sleeves, high necklines, and full skirts,symbolizing purity, innocence and connection to the divine.
Here are 9 photos from that time, of pairs of sisters, showing varying degrees of solemnity, very similar dresses but with a lot more variation in the veils.
