The sailor suit was a particularly popular style in Germany. As we discuss, many German families dressed their boys in sailor suits. And also many girls wore sailor oufits, both sailor dresses and sailor blouses and skirts. We see both identical and caried sailor outfits. What w so not see very commonly is mothers wearing sailor outfits along with the children. We see women with some sailor touches to their dresses, but actual sailor dresses were rather unusual even in Germany where the sailor suit was so popular. We have found few images with the mother wearing sailor outfits. While not nearalynas common, we have found a few such images. While it is possible that the woman might be an older sister, more likely it was the mother wearing the sailor suit and in at least one case it was a matching sailor suit. And one fashion style is mother-daughter dresses which may be at play here.
