Little Lord Fauntleroy Suits: Family Portraits--Sisters

Fauntleroy sisters
Figure 1.-- This cabinet card is undated, but was probably taken in the 1890s. We see two children about 6-9byears old and a baby. The boy wears a classic Fauntleiysuit. The blouse has a huge ruffled collar. His sister wears a veryelabporate dressnwith flounces and ruffles. The studio was HG Ruescher in New York.

We note sisters wearing a wide range of dress sttles. Unlike sailor suits, we have not noted mothers trying to coordinate brothers and sisters with the Fauntleroy styles, either identical or coordinated. There may have well been such efforts, but we have not yet found examples. Instead we see sisters wearing quite a range of dress styles. Some were very fancy like Fauntleroy suits, but not coordinated with them. All group images show girls wearing dresses with brothers wearing Fautleroy outfits. We do not see the sisters wearing blouses and skirts. At the time of course boys done up in Fauntleroystyles were wearing blouses or pin on fancy collars. We are collecting information on sister dresses to expand this section.
