What did Stuart children wear?

During the Stuart period in England (1603-1714), children typically wore garments similar to those of adults but adapted for their age. Young boys often wore "breeches" or short trousers, while girls wore dresses that mimicked adult styles, featuring long skirts and bodices. Infants were usually dressed in long linen gowns that allowed for ease of movement. Fabrics varied from simple wool and linen for everyday wear to more luxurious silks and velvets for wealthier families.
