Figure 1.--Here we see kindergarten boys wearing pinafores. The photogrtapoh is undated, but looks like the 1960s. This was a non-uniform school, you can see the shirts they are wearing underneath. One boy looks like he is wearing a smock, but only because he has a white shirt.

We have noticed two types of garments, standard pinafores and a kind if smock pinafore. We see children at a school here that seem to be wearing short sleeve smocks, kind of a cross beteen a smock and pinafore (figure 1). The difference being that a smock is usually long sleeved and has a back. Pinafores oin the other hand do not have sleeves and are open at the back. Both smocks and pinafores were common in Europe, but we have never seen a garment like the ones here being worn by boys and girls.
