In London I also visited the Museum of Childhood, which had a few 18th century children’s clothes on display, and a doll from 1780 with a full set of undergarments and even a tiny chatelaine. Click the picture above to go to a flickr set with my photos from the museum.

Thank you for sharing your London pictures! I’ve added the Museum of Childhood to my itinerary (not sure when I’m going but sure I’m going some time).

You may know how I always applaud when it’s about children’s fashion .

Thank you for these interesting pictures.

Thanks for posting some additional photos. The little doll shoes are too cute! If you have any more images I’d love to see them. Something tells me it will be a while before I make it all the way from California to see the museum ;)

Thank you! I’m afraid these were all the photos I took of the 18th century stuff at the Museum of Childhood.

Oh, I love looking through items from this period - particularly children’s things. Such an odd and beautiful time.
