Clues from the past

 

Time was both girls and boys did wear dresses at least until the age of five because it was easier to change babies and infants in dresses before boys would be "breeched" aka put into trousers and treated more as males.

It didn't always run to that model with boys remaining in dresses for longer as this picture shows but he looks so good  in it and yet it's not "soppy" nor are his toys as he is  just a boy in a dress.

I just love it.
