Especially in the old days when little boys looked like little girls, the distinction can be made by the color of the clothes. The girls wore pink clothes and the little boys wore blue clothes. It's the same today as it was in times gone by.

From the beginning,  children's clothing   used color to separate the sexes. Especially in the old days when little boys looked like little girls, the distinction can be made by the color of the clothes. The girls wore pink clothes and the little boys wore blue clothes. It's the same today as it was in times gone by.

Because of available historical narratives such as painting and photographs, it was difficult to tell if a child was a man or a woman. Thus, not only clothing has determined sex but also the overall appearance. This was manifested by the hair style they had been told to wear. It has become very common for little girls to wear pretty dresses and long hair, while little boys are asked to wear pants and short hair. However, due to the evolution of time, today's little girls have adopted the pants but the day has not yet come when the boys have adopted the girls' dresses!

Nowadays, in the modern world, there is a general convention that girls can wear boys' clothes but never the other way around. But this was not the case in the 19th century when girls and boys were dressed the same way.

But the concept of bloomers must be attributed to Elizabeth Smith Miller, who was the creator of the bloomers. Although this type of clothing does not bloom at all.

rompers

These were worn by both girls and boys who were used mainly for play time. At the end of the Second World War, rompers were a basic element of the little girls' wardrobe. . They were usually used as costumes or uniforms for girls' gymnastics classes.

Blouses

It's a generic garment from years past. As it was so common, different styles, accessories, ornaments and other details filled the repertoire of what can be a blouse. There were blouses of different colors, blouses with different styles of buttoning - buttons on the back, on the front or on the side. There were also collar blouses, cuffs, ties, pockets, belts, and so on. It was common in the 1950s that moms of identical cut were bought by mothers for their children.
