German mail order catalogs offer a very useful time line on changing fashion trends. There were major changes in boys' clothing following World War I. We have, however, very few catalog items at this time. We note some sewing patterns from 1922 offering quite a few different garments for boys and girls. We have some information from the Breslauer Hausfrau, a German woman's magazine, offering Norfolk suits, sailor suits and Alpine suits in 1923.
