Something I've been pondering. In what era/decade/year/location/something else
do you consider there to be a development of a separate fashion for children.
By children I mean potty trained age and over.
In the early 19th century there seemed to be a separate fashion for boys but
not girls with the so called skeleton suit. But by the mid19th century they
did a brief stint in pants and tunic then it was on to miniature adult styles.
For girls I start seeing the separate styles by the 1840s and they were
definitely there by the 1860s. However, I severely lack knowledge of earlier
periods. Am I just not seeing the kids styles?
It also strikes me that we are moving back to kids wearing miniature adult
styles.
