hats and laces

This boy’s (!!!) ensemble from 1869 mirrors the over drapery and fringe that started to be fashionable in women’s dresses in the period.

Boys Suit | c. 1810 | American

I love how they are trousers and not breeches, that is very unusual for boy’s clothing of the era. Typically wearing long pants was a right of passage that occured around a boy’s 12th birthday. I want this in my size. I am loving this color, maybe I will try to create a man size version for me?

Girl’s dress, 1904

Children’s four-piece ensemble from 1876 with three options for the upper body, two jackets and one bodice.

This reminds me of a school girl’s uniform!

As shown by this 1885 ensemble, it was common for children’s clothing to have hints of the stylish bustle of the 1880s without the full-blown aspect of the silhouette.

French baby girls were very stylish back in 1898, as demonstrated by these adorable bootees.

cutest thing ever! :) (Marie Antoinette with her daughter in the 2006 movie)
