The most common age for classic Fauntleroy blouses seems to be the pre-school years, meaning boys about 3-5 years old. We see large numbers of boys in the photograpic record wering Fauntleoy blouses who look to be about 3 years old. This is a good indicator of actual prevalence. Many boys at age 3 years in earlier years would not yet have been beeched and wearing skirted garments like dresses. This was a century old convention. In the late-19th century, at the time of the Fautleroy, kilt suits craze were popular. We suspect that that quite a number of doting mothers were so attracted to the Fauntleroy style that they might have breeched their sons early so they could be dressed in Fauntleroy blouses and suits. A good example is B. Curtlis Sunderland who looks to be about 3-4 years old.
