This review is from: Clothes and the Child: A Handbook of Children's Dress in England, 1500-1900 (Paperback)

When it comes to researching historical clothing it is easy to find Women's clothing, Men's is a bit harder, and Children's is harder yet, especially boys.

This is revised copy of Children's Costume in England from the fourteenth to the nineteenth Century by Anne Buck and Phillis Cunnington 1965

Excellent book! Photos of original garments. paintings, sculpture and period text as well. Very useful for those late SCAdians. the patterns in this book are from The Workwoman's Guide and Cassells for the 19th century.

This the best general overall view book on children's costume I have seen yet.

Arranged by age/chronology.
