Thanks.

I love your avatar & the dress he's wearing. I had one just like it & it was my favorite. It got lost in the fire. I have another just like it in all white, but it's just not the same as my favorite was in pink & white.

I just wonder how many of those boys became crossdressers in later years?

After looking at the pics taken on the grass it seems nobody taught these boys to sit like little ladies. It also looks like none of them borrowed their sisters panties as it seems they are wearing shorts under their pretty dresses. Sure wish I could have gone to this camp, they have a wonderful stock of pretty dresses and I would have volunteered for every play they did just to wear some of them.

Probably no more than the average of the general population.  A hundred years or so ago, all young children, boys as well as girls, wore dresses.  And looking at some of the outfits, they were pretty "girly" by today's standards.  Yet only a small percentage grew up to be crossdressers.

Barely related nteresting fact: "petticoat punishment" (dressing a boy up as a girl as punishment) was probably as much about age regression as it was about "sissification."

Robyn, when I was in about between 2nd and fourth grade I was petticoated by a mean aunt. She really didn't have to do that because she could've given me boy clothes to wearwhen I got my own clothes really dirty.

Glad everyone is enjoying the collection. Been a  long time fan of Betty's(visited periodically over many years) I don't have much in the way of funds, but I figured the least I could do is try to contribute with some content when I find something particularly interesting. I know I always look forward to andyg0404's Flickr posts. Hopefully my posts will become as anticipated and valuable to Betty's visitors.

Thanks beneath1984, the collection is great fun. Hey Billie Jo, I was often in a kilt in England before I moved to Canada but I am not sure that was why I cross dressed when I came to Canada at the age of 8 but I sure loved my sisters dresses and was in them from about age 4 and up. I always wore Mary Jane shoes myself so there was no attraction there until later in life. If you see photo's of the British Princes you will see the shoes I wore as a youngster but they seem to be only for the upper classes now as most young English boys I see now are wearing Nike styles unless school regulations state otherwise.

Of course I meant back in the days when very young boys still wore dresses.
