We note a vintage Liebchen from 1905. This Leibchen buttons down the front and is made of white sturdy cotton material and has two firmly sewn buttons on each side. The top buttons are for attaching underpants or outer clothing such as knee pants. The lower buttons are for the garter straps. This Leibchen would be suitable for either a boy or a girl and would presumably come in sizes from very small children (aged 2 or 3) up until about 14 (or perhaps even older since it dates from 1905 when boys wore long
stockings into their teen years.
