Help Dating Dresses - Part 2

[Ernie Jones]

Second post -
I am trying to figure out a date for these photo's - I'll have a couple more in their own threads. They are all of my grandfather's aunts but I'd like to be able to know who is who since there are no names or dates on the photo's. There are some hints in the photo's themself but knowing an approximate time frame for the fashions the young ladies are wearing will be a great help. All the photo's were taken in Ontario Canada.

These girls did like their hats. My theory is that since their dad was a barber they didn't want him messing with their hair, or that maybe he did.

1880s again, as with the other 2.

thanks... Can time be narrowed down? Like early, mid or late 1880's.

I might guess mid 1880s. It is a little hard to tell as they are bundled up a bit, and seeing their dresses from behind would be a huge clue.

I would go 1870s, the jacket is girdling the hips and the full button front of the coat is from that slim silhouette era of the late 1870s
