About MeBoys cream satin fancy dress outfit comprising brocade coatee jacket, waistcoat and knee breeches.

This outfit was probably made in the late 19th century but it is in the style of the 18th century when children's clothes mirrored those of their parents. Little boys often dressed in small replica coats matching their father's.
