Society still sees girls on a rung lower than boys and therefore a boy cannot be brought down the ladder by wearing anything remotely associated with a female. A ridiculous idea when you think about it. Step up the ladder guys! Just don;t let the girl's look up your dress!

There are definitely lots of similarities, and I love the pinafores especially, but the thing that strikes me the most is the lack of trousers. My girls love leggings, trousers, jeans - though often teamed with a pretty, tunic style top. I know I didn't wear many trousers when I was young either, but it definitely feels like a change for the better that girls now do.Wonky Patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877163026017340681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-9845555287523185822016-05-31T00:42:28.058+10:002016-05-31T00:42:28.058+10:00I'd say fashion tends to repeat itself.

Designers often look to the past to create their actual designs, so obviously we will see features we did in our own clothes or our parents and grandparents, etc. Magdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247442966829636679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-28282738011226989792016-05-29T10:10:17.051+10:002016-05-29T10:10:17.051+10:00Everything old is new again! :) OMG the picture ...Everything old is new again! :) OMG the picture of you with Santa - I'm LMHO!

And like you, someone in the family was the dressmaker: Mom. I daresay most little girls today are not wearing dresses unless it is for some particularly special occasion. (I think my first pair of pants may have been snow pants.) Speaking of snow, that Santa looks just a bit scary to me... just sayin'!Rochelle @ eSheep Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873971744083672144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-91840351685636387002016-05-26T20:14:43.163+10:002016-05-26T20:14:43.163+10:00I loved looking through the photos - I think a lot...I loved looking through the photos - I think a lot of little girls dresses I see today were inspired by classical style, which I love.
