Childrens Clothes in the 1920's

Children typically just dressed like miniature adults. Girls wore short dresses and boys wore cute little sailor suits. What was usually very restricting for girls, dresses were now very lose and made of cotton for comfort and children's needs in mind for once. When it was chilly out, a light cardigan was worn over the dress. The shoes were now made of canvas instead of the hard Victorian boots they usually wore. In the winter young girls wore heavy sailor suits with long underwear underneath to keep them warm. Instead of wearing their hair long like they used too, they kept it very short. Boys wore knee length trousers year round. Eventually the shorts got a lot shorter. In summer they paired these shorts with knee socks and canvas shoes or sandals. For school they wore suits and ties but these outfits weren't as restrictive before. All in all childrens clothes became a lot less restrictive and more for the children to actually be able to play.
