Hi Ace,

I've always been fond of sailor dresses myself. Here's a cute boy from the auction site.

And below is a painting by Kirill Vikentevich Lemokh, Children at the Piano, which shows another cute boy in the pleated white sailor dress which I especially like. This has been around the Internet for some time and I'm pretty sure it was posted to the Pub a while ago, possibly by me, but it was only today that I bothered looking up the artist.

Gee I guess we would have all loved to be dressed like that as boy/girls and now as whatever we are

Actually he even has a sweet and girlish stance,if he had longer hair one would swear that it was a girl !

Awww Andy, thanks for the Kirill painting, you certainly know how to pick them. I can hear my nasty sister now .... "come along Wendy, you've only yourself to blame. You will wear my old sailor dress every time I want you to, or I'll tell mother all about you hiding my underwear in your bedroom!"

Thanks Andy for posting that, I would like to know more about that painting and the subjects in it. I wish there were more like it. He looks very cute in that picture and I can barely take my eyes off him, it's a pity the artist only did one painting of that boy, one can only imagine what he would have looked like in another dress. The sailor suit ensemble he's wearing shows he definitely suits dresses.

While I've been very fond of your pictures, especially those you find on the auction site, we do get to see the boys legs in that painting, which you very rarely see in the pictures on the auction site. They're more often covered in those horrible long stockings.

I hope you don't mind, I've taken the liberty of posting a much brighter version of the one you posted.

You could be right about the stance, take a look at the image below, the one on the right shows a real girl, now compare her stance, with that of the boy in the left picture, taking particular note regarding the position of the legs.

I often see pictures of girls such as those in the pictures that follow and I tend to think they show what I call pseudo boys in dresses.

Pseudo describes someone or something fake, false or pretend. (adjective)

I've seen a lot of pictures both in art and photograph showing girls where I've used the term  pseudo, that is to say, I've pretended that the girl in the picture is a boy.
