The American boys wearing floppy bows with their Fauntleroy blouses ranged from about 2 years of age to younger teens. The older boys tended to wear the less fancy blouses and often without the classic Fauntleroy jackets. We see some families where all the boys are wearung Fauntleroy blouses and floppy bows whole in other families it was justr the younger boys. his tended to vary with the mothers fashion sence as well as the age distribution of the boys. The design of the blouses also varied. The younger boys tended to wear the enormously fabcy blouses with lave and ruffles. The older boys might have large ruffled collsrs, but not nearly as fancy. This varied somewhat with mother being the porimary arbiter as to what was appropriate. The chronology was a major factor. It was primarily the 1890s that we see older boys wearing these blouses, although we also see them in the late-1880s and early-1900s. We hope to refine the age trends as we expand this section.
