Sailor dress

[2] Peter Thomson (sometimes spelled Thompson)[3] had tailoring establishments in New York and Philadelphia in around 1900.

[6] The 'Peter Thomson dress' was made from cotton or linen for summer wear, or wool in winter.

[7] It was promoted as an ideal costume or uniform for female students and schoolchildren, and was popular with those trying to establish a "standardized style" of clothing.

"[9] Peter Thomson styling was also applied to the bodices of early bathing costumes.

[13] The maternity clothing designer Liz Lange declared "She shouldn't have to dress like a child just because she's having a child; it's one thing to put a toddler in a sailor suit but it's another thing completely to condemn a grown woman to such a fate.
