European Royalty: Russia--The Tsaraevich Alexei's Dresses


Figure 1.--Alexei is seen here with his mother in November 1906, he would have been about 2 years old. He still has his curls and is wearing a dress. The dress looks like one his sisters might have worn.

As a small boy Alexei like his father wore dressed. We do not yet know a great deal anout Alexei's dresses. Some appear to be little different than the dresses that his sisters wore. One dress had a square Rusian blouse collar, I'm not sure if the girls wore this dress style. It is abit difficult to tell with the black and white photography of the day, but most of his dresses appear to be white. He seems to usually wear them with short white socks and strap shoes. We believe Alexei was breeched when he was about 3 years old.
