Just knocked this up, coat from net of a nurses uniform top, stretched and pulled to position, i then desaturated it to match your original.

Sorry Paul, nice try but my client would know her uniform didn't look like that.
the original just didn't have the detail so I stayed with it without creating new.
Not knocking your effort mate just offering alternatives.
I am new to the forum and I have a passion for old photographs and learning to restore them, so I am checking out posts on this subject. My only observation is that the contrast between the black and white, and the bright highlights on her face make the photo "harsh" for lack of a better word. I prefer the softer yellows that old photos often have. That said, the restoration is impressive and most importantly, your client loved it. What a wonderful gift to give them.
