Sailor dress

Common card · No. 413179

A sailor suit dress is a traditional English female civilian clothing piece that follows the styling of the male British Royal Navy's sailor suit (which also originated in England), particularly the bodice and collar treatment. A sailor-collared blouse is called a middy blouse ("middy" derives from "midshipman"). In early 20th-century America, sailor dresses were very popularly known as Peter Thomson dresses after the former naval tailor credited with creating the style.
