i love dbda but i also love fashion history so i was very triggered when edwin said emma died in the late 1800s when she very clearly died in the mid 1800s
i would say the 1850s but the latest she could’ve died was in the 1860s
i used this as the reference because you can’t see her full outfit in the show. it’s not very historically accurate but it is clearly 1850s
just look at how similar they are. you cannot tell me she isn’t from the 1850s which classifies as mid 1800s not late 1800s edwin
