Figure 1.--Here we see Soviet primary school girls buying juice in a street automat. As I understand it, they did not get a can or bottle, but rather the juice was dispensed into a common glass that each machine had. The girls at this schools hd brown dresses which they wore with their pinafores. Also note the hairbows. They wore white socks or tights with their school dresses.

We note many photographs of Soviet schoolgirls wearing dark dresses and pinafores. We are not sure when this practice began. We note images from the 1930s, but they may hasve been just a few individuals or show schools. These dark dresses and fancy pinafores appear very common from the 1950s through the 1980s. We have noted both dark brown and blue dresses. I'm not sure if any other dresses were involved. The pinafores were always fancy white ones. We note girls of all ages wearing them, both in primary and secondary school. I'm not sure but I think the firls may have had a best fancy pinafore that they wore for special occassions. Here I am not yet positive.
