School shirt with embroidered canvas | 1970s deadstock | ages 7–8
Once, children in France went to school wearing colorful smocks over their clothes to protect them from ink stains and dirt. Despite their practical purpose, they came in a variety of checks, stripes, colors, and cuts. Every child had their own smock
During the 1970s, the custom gradually died out. More than fifty years later, I found a complete collection of original French smocks from that era, which had never been worn
A loose-fit smock, long at the waist, with long sleeves, a collar, and buttons running down the front
In a gorgeous shade of green
Two front pockets embroidered with a canvas and a bucket of paint
There is no label, so the estimated size is for ages 7–8
Length from shoulder to hem: 55 cm
100% cotton
Made in France
