French Skirted Garments: Unknown Garments

French smocks
Figure 1.- Here we see French children playing in some supervised activity in a park. The boy looks to be wearing a smock, but there are no sleeves which is unusual. And there seems to be some kind of apron tied in back. We have not encountered this garment before.

Most garments are fairly easy to identify. Some 19th century garments are a little more complicated and we have found it difficult identify some. By the 20th century it is very unusual to encounter garments that were difficult to identify. We encountered one while working on a group of snapshots of children playing in a French park, we believe in the 1950. We have found one image of a boy who looks to be wearing a skieted garment, most likely a smock. smock. Bur thus boy's garment does not have long sleeves, at least long sleeves in the same material as the rest of the garment. Perhaps our French readers will have some insights here.
