As elsewhere in Europe, young boys commonly wore dresses and other skirtged garments like their sisters thoughout the 19th century. We are not sure about earlier times when Greece ewas a province of the Ottoman Empire. And even after independence we do not have a lot of evidence abiut how families dressed boysin rural areas where traditional styles were prevalent. Even after photography was invented the Greek photograophic record was limited during the 19th century. Greek folk costumes include the kilt. We are not sure to what extent how commonly boys wore these garments. We do not know if they were comminly worn or just worn for special occassions. Nor do we know about social-class cinnoitations. In the cities and towns we believe that the general European fashion of dress. There is limited infomtion on this. Only in the 30th century do we see substzntial numbrrs of Greek photoigrphs sand by thi tinme the convention hsve declined. At this time we do not have enough information to make any assesments s to prevalence, styles, and conventions. We will not be able to do this until we acquire more images. After the turn of the 20th century this fashion continued but gradually declined in popularity as it did in other European countries.
