The photographic record clearly shows many 7 year olds wearing Fauntleroy outfitsd of vsrious sdtyles. This included both classic Fauntleroy suits with cut-away jackets and regular suits with fancy blouses. We begin to see a second option at about 7 years of age, regular suits in various styles, but worn with a variety of Fauntleroy trim that can be used. This could be a Fauntleroy blouse and floppy bow, but was often just a more limited Fauntleroy trim.
When we talk about Fauntleroy suits, we are generally talking about the classic Fauntleroy suits with small cut away jackets, fancy blouses, and knee pants. TYhis inckuded both winter suits ofebn dinev in velvet and summer suits dobe in lighter masterail. The same fancy bluses were used with both. A good example of these suits is identical Fauntleroy suits worn by two unidentified Philadelphia brothers, we believe in the 1890s.
While we see fewer boys by age 7 years wearing Fauntleroy suits, of course this did not mean that this was the age that boys stopped wearing a range of Fauntleroy trim and garments with regular suits. We see quite a bit of that in photographic record and this option becomes more and more important with older sge groups. hid almot always involbved lzarge ruffled collrs snd optional floppy bows. .
