Teasel’s Tudor Trivia – What did Tudor children wear – Part 2 – Toddlers

In the latest edition of Teasel's Tudor trivia, Teasel and I explain what Tudor babies and toddlers wore after they'd grown out of being swaddled.

Did boy and girl toddlers wear different clothes? What did Tudor children's clothes consist of?

Find out about Tudor children's clothes for toddlers in today's talk.

By the way, I go into far more detail on this in a Claire Chats talk I did a few years ago, on which this talk is based. Click here to view that talk.
