Too many steps to enumerate in detail. Started by cutting the original into pieces and putting them on a transparent background, then skootching them to fit together. Followed this by lots of cutting and pasting, cloning, and healing (many layers), with periodic merges to pull things together. Spent entirely too much time trying to rebuild that cussed embroidered flower - lack of artistic talent shows here. Did a bunch of dodging to lighten the hands. Used what there was of a left eye (with cloning, dodging, and burning) instead of trying to copy and flip.
That's about it - still don't like that flower though . . .

Fine work Carole,
The sepia gives it that lovely old photo look.
Great work on the hands and also the dress.
The embroidered flower looks ok to me.
I suppose you could select the top half and use free transform
to give a more angled appearance at the crease.
But this seems a lot of fussing over a piece of cloth.
One hopefully helpful comment.
The distance between the ladies eyes seem a fraction wide.
I think it could be an improvement if you nudged the eye you repaired in a couple of pixels closer to the other eye. What do you think?
Glad you didn’t flip. The repaired eye looks great.
Matt

Thanks, Matt. I've grown quite fond of doing old photos in sepia, whether they started out that way or not 
Your comment about the eyes was right on, I think. Since you paved the way with your great colorization and so many others followed, I had to try that out too. In the colored one I nudged her left eye just two pixels toward her nose, at really high magnification. Amazing how much difference two pixels makes. Even at 100% the move was definitely noticeable, and an improvement.
Thanks again,
Carole

Carole, I think you did a marvelous job and the cloth on the little table turned out really, really well!
