Some children wear pinafores over their dresses. The pinafores are easily recognizable because unlike smocks, they are sleeveless. We have not yet fully assessed Greenway's drawings, but she seems to have usually painted pinafores as white. Pinafores could be very plain, but they were also pinafores with fancy trim. The pinafores that we have noted in Greenway's drawing are usually quite plain. We have noted even older girls wearing white smocks over their dresses. We have noted noted boys wearing pinafores over their skeleton suits. We do know that younger boys did wear pinafores. Thus some of the younger children in dresses wearing pinafores may be boys.

Clearly the older children in dresses wearing pinafores are girls. Sometimes they are depicted in white bonnets. Surely these children are girls. HBC has also noted younger children in pinafores. The gender of these children is ambigous. HBC has not been able to determine if the gender is specifically indicated.
