Presentations and photos?

First off, when did the Court stop doing the formal Presentations ...
the ones with lines of girls wearing Prince-of-Wales feathers in their
hair and wearing miles of train and tons of beading?

<ritual, and the debutante was required to wear distinctive formal
Court dress. In particular, they were required either to carry
feathers (usually in the form of an ostrich feather fan), or to wear
feathers as part of their headdress.[1]

Queen Elizabeth II abolished the ceremony of presentation at Court of
any woman, including debutantes, in 1958.>>

Thanks, I thought it was earlier ...

They were suspended during WWII, never really got off the ground again
afterwards, and were finally abandoned shortly after the accession of
the present Queen - some time in the 1950s.

Then, before they quit doing those, was it possible/common/customary
(indicate which) for the debutant to have her portrait made in her
Presentation gown and feathers?

A large number of 19th and early 20th century aristocratic memoirs are
illustrated with such photographs, which I think must have been usual.
If you mean paintings, I'm not sure, but I suspect some of the richer
ones must have gone for that.
