American Fauntleroy Blouses: Age Trends--9 Year Olds

Fauntleroy blouses
Figure 1.--This unidentified American boy looks to be about 9-years old. He wears a Fauntleroy blouse with a large ruffled collar and front with a realtively small floppy bow, The caninet portrait is undated, but was probably taken in the late-1880s. The portrait was taken by Doolittle on 180 E. Genesee St. in Syracuse, New York.

We continue to see 9-year old boys wearing Fauntleroy blouses, but not so many with the classic Fauntleroy cut-away jackets. Quite a few bous at age 9, however wore Fauntleroy blouses. We see white blouses with large ruffled collars and the frilly fronts. We see boys with a variety of other collars, but the Fauntleroy collar was very popular. This was fairly standard summer wear for American boys from the late-1880s to the ealy 1900s. And during the winter the winter they might be worn with regular suit jackets. We see boys both in the city and rural areas wearing these blouses. The boys and age 9 do not seem engulfed by the blouses like pre-school boys, but the collars are still notably large. We see them worn with and without floppy bows.
