Jesus, the state of those dresses. I hope those are "work" clothes, but have a very bad feeling that's their only clothes.

For late XIX'th century working class those would be their only clothes usually.

EDIT: Putting this in contrast with photos of the inhabitants of the valley my ancestors from paternal side are from (which were mostly all murdered in 1915), I can see from where all the pride about that place came and also envy of the surrounding Muslims and the particular word it was renamed into Turkish (something like "mansions"). In terms of clothes being clean and whole those photos look amazing, and many-story stone houses and such. Just not as amazing when looking at them from XXI-century city perspective.
