Little Lord Fauntleroy: Sailor Suits (England, 1980)


Figure 1.--Ricky Schroeder's portrayall of Little Lord Fauntleroy was one of the better costumed versions. He is pictured here in a sailor suit with the dog.

Cedric also wore a silor suit. His was a blue stripped, summer sailor suit (figure 3). The middy blouse on his sailor suit was not the classic "V" front, but not all sailor suits had the classic styling. We have seen many images from the late 19th century with sailor suits styled like the one worn by Cedric in this production. The "V" collar was the most common, but there were many other styles employed in boy's clothing. The suit worn by Cedric here does have the classic three white stripes. It is a blue stripped sailor suit with a blue sailor collar. He wore a plain white dickey except for the blue neckband.
