Figure 1.--Here we see three Yugoslav chool girls in the 1930s wearing their sailor-styled school uniforms. In this case itv is a sailor top, a vlouse that did not blouse bnd a matching pleated skirt.

There were several styles that were particularly popular st achools. Perhaps the most destinctive girls' school garment was the gym slip--a British innovation. It was normally worn with a white blouse. The gym slip is a skirted garment intermediate between a skirt and a dress. The gym slip had a bodice like a dress, but like a skirt had to be worn with a blouse. While the gym slip originated in Britain, we now see it being worn around the world. In some countries it is more common than in England. We se it being weirn as both a unifgorm and elctiv clothing item. We also notice British girls wearing light colored frocks during the summer. They were often done in checks. This was a popular uniform style fir the summer termr. Another popular style was sailor outfits. This was usually a style girlsselected to wrear in non-uniform schools, but some countries had schools with sailor uniforms, most prominently in Japan. We note both sailor dresses and sailor blouses/skirts.
