In 1885, children wore feathers in their caps, silks, ribbons and lace to play together out of doors on their estates. Boys preferred tambourines to Badminton and dolls, however, and wore pom poms on their hats instead of feathers.
This watercolor came from an actual depiction of child clothing for outdoor sports in a 1885 magazine, believe it or not!
