French mail order catalogs and clothing advertisements offer a very useful time line on changing fashion trends. A sewing magazine in 1957 had a coordinated pattern for a brother and sister. Rompers for the boys and an almost identical dress for the girl.
At this time we have infornation on only one 1950 little bou outfit, a romper sweing pattern.
A Modes et travaux sewing magazine in 1957 had a coordinated pattern for a brother and sister. Rompers for the boys and an almost identical dress for the girl. Actually the two garments are pictured together betcuse the pattern can be used for both dress and rompers--only the bottom is different. Mothers with a boy and girl can make matching outfits.
