Figure 1.--This Dutch brother and sister outfit is primarily coorfinated by color and identical white kneesocks as well as similar strap shoes. Note the boys' side buttoning jacket, styled rather like a smock or Russian blouse. These outfits appeared in a 1968 clothing catalog. |
A number of different juvenile-styled suits appeared in the 1910s. Unlike the dresses that children used to wrasr, they were usually gender specific suits. Many were made, however, with coordinated styling so brothers and sisters could be dressed similarly. These suits were difficult to dress the entire family in unless there were only two children of very similar ages. Children were still being dressed in these outfits in the 1960s, but this has become less popular in recent years.
