Figure 1.--Here we see a little French boy wear a sailor dress with a wide-brimmed sailor hat. Note his little sister does not have a dress with sailor styling. The snapshot looks to have been taken in the early-1900s. |

We see boys wearing a range of dress styles. We note high-waisted empire dresses in the early-19th centuty and low waisted dresses in the late-19th century. We also notice dresses without defined waistlines or only a hint of a waistline. There were also A-line dresses. And after the mid-19th century we see sailor styled dresses. Sailor styles were very popular in France. Our French archive is still reklatively limited so we are just beginning to archive examples of different dress styles.
