HBC at this time does not have detailed information on the age of boys wearing dresses. Obvuously theywere worn by babies. But boys also wore them well after toddler ages. In other European countries, boys were generally breeched at about age 5. This varied from country to country and overtime. Much was up to the judgement of indovidual mothers. HBC at this time has no information pecificallu related to Dutch parctices concerning the approroate age for boys to wear dresses.
