Pinafores
Pinafores were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th
century to protect clothes. Formal
clothing was much more common at the time, and given the cost--very
important to protect. Pinafores
were esentially abreviated smocks worn over other clothes for meals
and play. They were primarily worn by girls, but
young boys were also dressed in pinafores. The practice was most
common on the continent, but young boys in England also wore
pinafores.
