We note dresses made to look like pinafores. Here we do not mean dresses worn with protective pinafores, but dresses made to look like ainafore. A feature here is the kind of flared extension over the shoulders rather than the puff sleeves more commo with dresses. We are not sure about the chromology of these pinafoire dresses. We see them in the 189os, butvthey may have appeared earlier.
