Well, here is a boy (Not dressed as a little girl in a pretty dress or skirt with ruffles!!) This is a boy on the verge of getting to wear his first male clothing I think. Transitional...but not quite into pants! All it would take is two vertical seams and a cut up the front before they left for the photographer and this blonde & handsome child could have been wearing pants for the photo (Dad would have liked that--but mom wasn't quite ready I expect.)
It is a nice photo and I have added it to my collection.'Looks like velvet, checked pattern cuffs,-- with a lot of buttons down the front on the handmade shirt. Plain, back of card.
On lower front is fancy embellished photog.name at bottom
"LONG, Menomonie,Wisconsin"
I am very interested in the fashions of the kids as well all the adults. I found I have enough photos that I can now categorize the styles--and learn more from the dated photos about when these fashion fads and fancies were popular.
Someday maybe I'll have albums full of fashion shows by date.. Just another thing to strive for.
Thanks so much for a long list of lovers! Hope my eyes will allow me to see well enough to say thanks to all indivi dually.
