Baby and Toddlers Clothes - The Evolution of Children's Clothing

Children's clothing evolved as with all the things that are now gift today.

From the beginning, children's' clothing used color to separate the genders.

Girls wore pink and puny boys wore blue, this is as much true today as it is in the era of days gone by.

Because of historical accounts available like painting and photographs, it was not assuredly distinguished if a child was male or female. Thus, not only do the clothes carefully the gender but the general appearance as well. This was manifested by the hair style that they were told to wear. It became a strong practice that puny girls wear pretty dresses and their hair long while the puny boys were told to wear the pants and sport short hair. Any way due to the evolution of time, puny girls of today have adopted to wearing pants but the day hasn't come yet where the boys adopted the dresses of girls!

In our contemporary world today, a general practice exists that girls are able to wear the clothes of boys but never the other way around. But that wasn't the case in the 19th century where puny girls and boys were dressed alike. Although during that time, girls were not allowed to dress in pants, otherwise, there was not much disagreement in the way they were dressed.

Up to the time of the second world war, clothes linked with girls were dresses, pantalets, smocks and pinafores.

Dresses

This was the basic clothing of girls up to the second world war since it was not everyday occurrence that girls wore pants or shorts before the war.

Bloomers

This was other staple in the puny girls' clothing where it served its purpose of
providing an alternative option to the restrictive and binding fashion sense during the 19th century. This can be attributed to Amelia Bloomer born 1818 - 1894 who was an American reformer espousing this cause. But the bloomer notion must be credited to Elizabeth Smith Miller as she was creator of the bloomers. Although this type of garment did not bloom at all.

Rompers

These were worn both by the girls and boys that were used primarily for play time. By the end of the second world war, rompers were basic staples for puny girls wardrobe. They were normally used as costumes or uniforms for gym classes of girls.

Smocks

This is one generic children's clothing of years gone by. As this was so common, separate styles, accessories, adornments, and other details filled the repertoire of how a smock can look like. There were smocks of separate colors, smocks with separate buttoning styles - buttons placed at the back, in the front, or on the side. There were also smocks with collars, with trims, with ties, with pockets, with belts, etc. It was usual in the 1950s that smocks of identical cut were bought by mothers for their children.

Pinafores

This was a very vital piece of garment for the girls' wardrobe as they were normally worn by puny girls of Europe and America.

Pantalets

These were worn both by boys and girls. Usually, boys wore plain pantalets while girls wore the fancier ones. But there were some boys who like to wear fancy Pantalets too.

Sailor suits

This was basically a boy's garment but it became a unisex garment as girls started to wear sailor suits too.
