These dressy tunics may have been the boy's party outfit or dressiest garment for special occassions. They could be worn to Church or to a variety of speciall occasions such as parties or various family gatherings. Parties in the early-20th century when these garments were popular, basically theEdwardian era, tended to be formal occassions. They were also popular for photographic portaits for which mothers wanted the children dressed up. The tunic was a practical garment because of its simplicity. It could serve nicely as a play garment. But done in in better fabrics and with a little lacy detailing it could be transformned in a dressy outfit. The matching tunic suits on the previous pge are a good example. This often meant white tunics.
