The phony Ripper photos?!

So, is that pretty accurate to what Catherine Eddowes was wearing on the night she was killed?

The photo of the clothing was posted by Monty on another thread. He describes it as "A reconstruction of Catherine Eddowes clothing on the night she was murdered.....a bit cleaner." I dont know if that means its her actual clothing fixed up to look new or if thats a replica of the clothing she wore that night. Maybe Monty can clarify.

Hi all,

To clarify, the photo is Courtesy of Stephen Leece, not I.

Also, the clothes were actually made by Claudia Ailiffe, based on Insp Collards description, created for the 2007 Wolverhampton Conference.

By 'a little bit cleaner' is reference to the fact that Eddowes actual clothes were far from as prestine as you see inthe photo. They were very worn, with the apron almost black.

Hope that clears things up a little.

Cheers
Monty
