Other mothers chose either the boys or girls for saolot suits and dressed the other gender in different outfits. It is difficult to say which was more common, for the boys or the girls to wear the sailor outfits. And this seems to have varied over time as well with the age of the children. . Often this was the boys who wore sailor suits. This seems based on the photographic record to have been the most common. But this certainly was not always the case. Sailor outfits were very popular for girls as well. We see many families where the girls wore sailor outfits and the boys wore other outfits. There were several different stles of middy bliuses and well as other outfits for boys and girls. It is likeky that even the group chosen not to wear sailor suits pribably had sailor outfits in their wardrobes.
