Boy's dress, circa 1895

A little boy’s (yes boy’s) striped cotton suit from circa 1895. Stripes and sailor themed outfits were very popular for both boys and girls at the turn of the century.

  1. Very beautiful! Yup. . . boys would indeed wear clothing similar to girls until they reached the age of six, although by 1890 that age dropped to three. At that time, boy would begin "breeching" and wear their first pair of trousers.
