Belts Over Sweaters: Pulled Down
Figure 1.--
|
One can pull down the sweater above the trousers or skirt and mark the waist with a belt or better with a belt above the sweater. Again in Les disparus
de Saint-Agil, but this time in the movie that was filmed just before WWII with
action taking place at this time, Sorgue, which is much younger than in the novel (I
would say 11), is wearing short trousers, knee socks, a sweater pulled down and a
military belt above with a big buckle.
France
Before Worls War II (1939-45) it seems from available that the trend is to put the sweater above the short trousers and to underline the waist with a belt. This seems true for
scouts and non-scouts. Remember Les disparus de St-Agil (the movie). This is
also well depicted in photo 6, the Scout de France at the center of the photo, 1936.
