Figure 1.--This studio portrit shows a Romanian child wearing a smock. We are not sure whether it is a home or school smock. we at first thought the child was a boy, but the small ear rings show that she is a girl. As she is reading a book, this may be a school rather than a home smock. The portrait is undated, but the French furniture and posing suggest she was photgraphed about 1910.

We have very little information on skirted garments in Romania yet. European styles and conventions appeared relatively late in Romania. European styles rapidly appeared in Romanian cities. Because of our limited archives, we are not yet sure about skirted garments and conventions. We do note smocks, but we are not yet sure about prevalence and usage. There appear to have been school smocks, but we are nt yet sure about how commonly they were worn at school. We do not yet have information on other skirted garments.
