sallyyorks - similar clothes to the ones worn by my father and his twin sister in the photo I have, except they are seated.  I think your grandad and my father and his twin were much younger than the child in chinacharlie's photo who is dressed in outdoor clothes.

Here's my dad and his twin sister.

Seoras -- it was fastened, honestly, that`s the way it pouched over.

The white bit peeping out  underneath is your right foot.

I`m sorry if this disappoints you!!!! Aww-

I have two sons and both wore them as they were standard  wear for little boys up to about one year old. Dreadful to iron.

Go and lie down in a dark room. You were dressed normally for the time.
seriously-- kind regards.     Viktoria.

Seoras, after you've seen this one I'm sure you won't feel nearly so bad.  This was my grandfather!

Tea cosy I think Deb!!  avec bow!   ;D   ::)   Or an outsized Tam. !! ::)

I reckon the initial photo is of a girl - looks like a girl - China's boy looks like a boy!!  I've got some beauties of dad dressed in a skirt - but it was a boy's skirt - you can tell!!

 George looks like a boy in a romper suit!   :P   We had romper suits like that for the beach - they were great!!  Yes, the boys too!!
