American Fauntleroy Blouses: The 1900s--Age 10 Years

Fauntleroy blouses 10 year olds
Figure 1.-- Here we have a newlv style cabinet card. This helps us date the portrait to the 1900s decade. There is no information associated with the portrait. The boy looks to us to be about 10-years old. H wears a paterrned Fauntleroy blouse, in this cade stripes. It is not as fancy as the classic Fauntleroy blouses worn by youngr boys, but it was a fancy blouse. Note the ruffled frills on the front placket, the wrist trim, and large collar as well as the back flap. These blouses were very common in the 1900s. Click on the image for closer look at the blouse.

Boys 10 years old did not wear the fancy classic Fauntleroy blouses in the 1900s decade. We did not even see this very often when the classic blouses were most common (1880s-90s). But we do see many 10-year olds wearing the less fancy patterned Fauntleroy blouses. While less fancy, they still had the back flap and optional the frilled front placket. They also optionally worn with floppy bows, but much more modest bows than were worn in the 1890s. We mostly see these blouses being worn during the summer and worn wihout jackets. Apparently these blouses were seen as dressy enough that jackets were not required even for boys in gtheir younger teens. . We continue seeing this even as the Fauntleroy Craze was winding down.
