Solid colored fabrics seem by far the most common for boy dresses. These solid colored dresses were much more common than patterened or print dresses. The great bulk of dresses we have found show solid-colored fabrics. These photographs are very common and quite a number are archived on HBC. Unfortunartely because of the black and white photogroht of the day, we have no idea what colors the dresses were. Informatuion can be gleaned from catalogs and paibtaings, but unfortunately not from the photographic record. We note both hite and blacl dresses and many shades in between.
