At a rough guess I'd say 1930s or 40s

findmypast have a blog on dating photographs Here (http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/2011/family-photos-what-are-they-wearing/) and it looks like you are spot on Michael. :smile5:
Cyndi's list also gives links to quite a few sites about dating photographs.

I'm afraid you have given your age away mags54, my grandmother would wear similar styles

My grandmother died in 1939, long before I was born so I think your date was about right. I think maybe this was just before she died as I know from other photos she wasn't as slim as this.
Many thanks
