If some of my memory serves me right, doesn't fashion history suggest that children were more or less dressed as minies of their elders , especially during this time period? My children's clothing history does not present separate patterns or expectations until the very end of the 18th C.
Since most of the pattern companies that have been issuing period dress also have basic children's versions that at least have been sized for smaller frames, putting the pattern pieces next to H-costume pieces and reshape them for the Historical look. I have even been doing this with doll patterns of late and as you know, the Cut is where the history happens.
