Figure 1.-- Here Carl has put on the sailor dickey around his neck and attached his bloomer knickers to his underwaist. |

The next step in getting dessed for carl after the underwaust is putting on the sailor dickey (shield) around his neck for his sailor blouse. This is the formal bit that filled in the space between the "V" of the saolor collar. Often there was an embroidered design with a nautical motif. Carl's dickey has a red anchor. Then Carl needs to pull on his bloomer knickers. We have problem here in that we are not sure how Carl's bloomer knickers were suspended. Some younger boys had bloomer knickers with bodices, but this was for wear with tunic suits. As far as we know, this was not the case with sailor suits. We would be interested if any readers know how Carl's bloomer knickers would have been suspended. We believe that tere were button holes in the knickers where the buttons were inserted, but we have seen bloomer knickers that did not have these button holes so we are not entirely sure.
