Figure 1.--Here we see a Bulgarian brother and sister in 1927. Unless we knew they were Bulgarian we might have guess that they were German. Notice the litte girl's huge hair bow. |

We note many of the same basic garments such as tunics and sailor suits. Sailor suits were mostly worn in the cities by the elite and middle-class boys. They were not as common in the villages and country side. Here the German origins of the country's monarchy must have been a significant factor. Some of the detailing seems destinctly Bulgarian. Note the sailor suit on the previous page. Most European boys had the traditional stripes on their sailor suits for detailing as were worn by actual sailors. We see these sailor suits with these stripes. Many Bulagrain boys wore sailor suits with more elaborate embroidery or even lace trim. Our information is still very limited so we do not yet know how common the various styles were in Bulgaria.
