Geomertric shapes were one of the most popular pattern. By far the most important were poladots. We notice polka-dots meaning fill-in circles. They were done in many various sizes. We also notice poladots beeing used on bows. Other geomeric shapes were used, including diamonds and triangles. There may have been other patterns besides these basic geomeric shapes, but polkadots were the most important. Most of these geomertric shap patterns were done on white shirts. But we also see them done with colored shirts. Plain shirts were the nost commn, but we see quite a number of polkadot shirts. We are not yet sure about te cronology of polkadot blouses. We think it was a style mostly worn during the 1880s-1900s, but this needs to be confirmed. We are not sure about the gender conventions.
