  Clothing Of The 1830s
Clothing the family of the 1830s was an important task, and most of the work was the responsibility of the women.
Often the whole family helped to produce the cloth used for their clothing, especially if the family were rural or frontier: sheep were fed and sheared by the men of the household.
The cloth had been too dearly obtained to abandon, and too many of their scarce hours had gone into the original stitching to toss aside.

 Clothing
Clothing below the waistline should be darker than above the waistline.
This means if you select light colored clothing or white, we will work with a light toned or white background.

 1942—Modern Pattern Design—Chapter 12—Children's Clothing
As is the case with adults, a government sponsored survey was started and through the aid of the schools, measurements were to be taken of thousands of children of varying ages and sizes in an attempt to determine the measurements of an average child of certain age.
Fortunately, modern mothers are more sensible and they favor simple, well-cut clothing for their children and much of the fussiness of former years has been replaced with functional design of a high order.
Because the small child from two to eight years of age has a tendency to have a bulge at the waistline instead of at the bust level, the control for this curve must be placed at the waistline.

 Abstract Dynamics: Waistline Banging Like a Bassline
Women's clothing comes in more or less abstract sizes, a size 2 or size 12 connotes nothing in itself, any information it communicates comes from it's relationship to the other sizes and to past experience trying on clothing of a similar number.
Men's clothing on the other hand is often sized in inches, a shirt with a 16 and 1/4 inch collar, a pair of pants with a 34 inch waist and 32 inch inseam.
But when it comes to the waistline, well the truth is far fatter than the numbers, at least when it comes to American (and British) garments...
