In the 1900 wedding photograph of Joe Garski and Susan Koziczkowski, typical styles of the average citizen are seen.
In all probability the bride�s dress was not white, but a more practical color. During this time period, the bride
chose her best dress or bought a new one that she could use later as her best dress. To add a festive note, extra bows
were sometimes added for the wedding, and a flowing white veil was worn. The man�s wedding suit might be worn as
�Sunday best� for many years after the wedding.

A photo of two stylish friends appeared in the Jensen family album. Slim line dresses and very large hats were
the height of fashion in the 1909-1910 period. The full low bosom of the early part of the decade had now been
replaced by the high-waisted bodice and straight skirt. High bonded collars were disappearing and health experts
predicted that this would lead to an increase in pneumonia and tuberculosis.
