During the Victorian period, children's fashion underwent changes. Boys would wear dresses until age 5, then sailor suits became popular for boys after being worn by Queen Victoria's son. Fashionable little girls would dress like their mothers, except with shorter dresses. Women's fashion in the 1830s featured fuller bell-shaped skirts, puffed sleeves, and ornate hats, along with lower necklines and short sleeves on most dresses.
