Both boys and girls wore skirted garments in America. The gender conventions varied for the different garments. There is a huge photographic record beginning in the mid-19th century which provides insights on shirted garments and the gender conventions ibvolved. This includes all the different skirted garments. The major problem in assessing the record is that usually the children are not identified. Gender can often be assessed even when the children are not identified, but in many instances we are left to wonder.
