This sailor blouse dine with patterns were a variant of the plain collar blouses. There was no stripe detailing on the collar either. The material used for the middy blouse, however, was not a plain flat color, but rather some kind of patterened material. The actual patterns used varied with the creatiity of the mother, but could be quite bold ones, including plaids and checks. This was generally an option used for a younger boy. Older boys were more likely to want traditional styling. These look a strange because the patterns present a rather non-sailor look even though the cut odf the suit is that of a sailor suit. While the collar did not have stripes, the dickey worn with it often had an embroidered design.
