In 2021 the simmer ashubii started a thread by this name, which served as an inspiration to several of us. Now like many other threads the screenshots did not get transferred over, nor did it en...
Finally time for some children's fashion as well. Here I will mix all different classes in one post and also let it stretch longer than a decade as children's clothes changed much slower than other clothes.
One thing to note on children's fashion was that the predominant color of children's clothes - especially younger children - where white. Simply because white could be bleached and so it was easier to keep clean.
The second thing to note is that girls and boys wore the same clothes. How long this laster varies of course in time and location, but at the very least until diaper time was over but often until the child was 6 or 7 (aka clearly children and not toddlers). For that reason all my outfits for infants and toddlers are identical for boys and girls. First infants, and there are two dresses that I find useful. The one to the right I use for richer families, the one of the left for poorer families. I use these for all outfits.
For toddlers I almost always use the first outfit below. It's not exactly a dress, and really too short for the time, but better than 99% of what we got in game. The second one works too, though I mostly use it for nightgowns. The third and fourth options I use for formalwear at times, especially in the 1910s, but let's be honest, toddlers were rarely allowed at parties, they were kept out of sight so it wouldn't be an issue. In the next picture I have the cold weather wear and "swimsuit" I use, both I use for both boys and girls.
For children, obviously, the norm was different. Boys would wear shorts, never pants, and a shirt or jacket. Somewhere around the age of 12 (obviously this varied) boys were allowed long pants. Sometimes I let a boy I play have pants just before he's about to age up, especially if he has younger siblings so you can see who is older and who is younger. In most of these the shorts are too short (especially 3 and 4) and the stockings too white and not long enough, but I think it's passable. The last pair of pants are for female form.
For swimwear I've come up with two passable versions and for sleepwear it's pjs if you have the money or underwear if you do not:
For girls it's even harder than for boys, as almost all skirts and dresses are too short. I find the school uniform from snowy escape helps a lot, and the second dress is good if your family is middle class or poorer. The others show too much skin, but are passable. Especially the last has the right shape if not the length.
For formalwear we do get a gown with the vampire pack that I wish was for adults. Personally I prefer number two that somehow ends up on a lot of my girls. The next two are nightgowns, one for those with money and the second for those without. The last is my version of swimwear for girls.
As teens were not a concept yet, they just dressed like adults.
