Publisher's Note Children's Clothing of the 1800s takes an in-depth look at the way children dressed in that era. Did you know that most settler children owned only two outfits and that an outfit that was worn every day was washed only once a week? Young readers will be taken into the world of petticoats, skeleton suits, crinolines and knickers. Artwork, etchings and full-color photos.
