Figure 1.--Here a German boy wears a suit with sailor styling while his sisteers wear sailor dresses cut ad styled differently. The portrait is undated, but lookds to have been taken about 1910.

And we see some children wearing completely different sailor styles. They are coordinaed only in the sence that were sailor outfits, not because they were styled or detailed similarly. And we notice girls wearing styles that were also worn by boys as well as styles that were only worn by girls. Boys were most likely to wear traditional styles closer to actual uniforms. Girls might also wear those styles, but wore a range of non-traditional styles that did not look anything like actual uniforms. Often this involved the boys wearing traditionally styled outfits ad the girls drsses with varying degrees of sailor styling, but thee wee many othef options. Often when the children wore middy blouses they were similarlly outfitted because both boys and girls coukld sear middy blouses, but when the girls wore dress there could be major differences.
