The first Fauntleroy blouses were worn by younger boys. We see fewer 10-year olds at first. But by the 1890s, we see 10-year olds commonly wearing Fauntleroy blouses. A few boys at age 10 wore Fauntleroy suits, but this becomes increasing rare at age 10 years. We commonly see the blouses, but not the classic Funtleroy suits. We note white Fauntleroy blouses that are not as fancy as the ones the younger boys were wearing. The older boys seem to have usually worn colored or pattern blouses that were not as fancy as the blouses commonly worn by the younger boys. Some boys 6-years and older did wear elaborate Fauntleroy blouses, but the plainer, but large collar blouses were more common. They were referred to as Fauntleroy blouses at the time so we will include them in our age listing here. We note an oval format portrait showing a mother and father with their son who looks to be about 10-years old. The unidentified boy wears a Fauntleroy blouse with a large ruffled collar and plaid floppy bow. No information as to where or who took the portrait. The portrait is not dated, but mothers dress suggests it was taken about 1895. We note brothers Arthur and Charlie (8-10 years old) wearing identical white Fauntleroy blouses in 1897. Boys at age 10 year while they did not commonly wear the classic Fauntleroy suits, did wear less fancy Fauntleroy blouses with regular suits.
