Waddingtons Melbourne studio

This is Grandma Helen Mary Rowe (nee Moore ) . My best guess is that she was about eight when this shot was taken. This makes the date around 1885. It was taken at Waddingtons in Melbourne, note the classic studio setting which assisted in keeping the client still as she had something to lean on during the interminable exposure. I cant place her costume and if anyone can point out the details I would be very appreciative. The print has not been corrected as yet and I have no way to determine if it was indeed sepia which was the vogue or if it has simply aged.
