Children's Fashion
In this period, small boys wore sashed tunics over trousers, sometimes with a round-collared shirt underneath. (In Sketches by Boz, 1836, Charles Dickens described the earlier skeleton suit as "...one of those straight blue cloth cases in which small boys used to be confined, before belts and tunics had come in...." ). Older boys wore short jackets and trousers with round-collared shirts.
Girls wore simplified versions of women's fashion.
