The third option was very elaborate ruffles, often with eyelet lave ariund the front placket. It is these blouses that usually had the most elaborate collars, often with marching wrist cuffs.

He is a little older than the youngest boys wearing these fancy blouses so he does nor seem quite so engulfed. The huge fancy front make his floppy bow seem modest. We have seen larger collars, but this is one of the most elaborate front plackets that we have seen in the photographic record. With all this fancy work, these were the most expensive blouses. Price also deended on the material.
