Figure 1.--Here we see the royal family in 1921, just before Karl launched the aborted effort to seize the Hungarian crown. A new baby daughtr has arrived, but the fa,ily is not yet complete. The boys are now wearing long pants sailor suits. Notice that Otto's long hair has been cut, but not long.

Emperess Zita liked to dress the children in coordinated or identical outfit. As babies the children wore white dressess. There seem to have been starndard outfits for the boys and standard outfits for the girls. Zita seems to have based the standard boy's oiutfit on the clothes worn by the oldest boy--Otto. When he had his hair cut and began wearing sailor suits, so did the younger boys. We see Otto, the oldest child wearing a broad-brimmed hat with down turnd brim with a tunic jacket and straight-leg shorts. As best we can tell he wears short pants and not knee pants. We also see him wearing a regular broad-brimmed hat. A few years later all the boys are wearing frilly white blouses and short pants. We also see them wearing what look like t-shirts and white short pants Later when the boys are a little older they wear sailor suits with long pants. The children commonly wore strap shoes, both dark and white as well as high-toped shoes.
