Formal Clothes for toddlers
nekonoai:
in the "good old days", boys were often dressed in dresses for formal occasions. Especially baby and toddler boys.
also, this was an interesting read

I don't think toddlers can be invited to a wedding so that method wouldn't work to access the formal clothes. Those dresses (Maxis) are categorised for toddlers in formal and everyday.
However, Phanoah, over at MTS2, has a mod that recategorises more of the toddler clothes to be formal (actually it's a mod to recategorise everything) and she's working on a way, she says, to make it an option on the changing table. She's put the tuxedos in there and for boys only. You can also categorise for that with Wardrobe Wrangler.
This is not much use in ordinary circumstances obviously. However, there is one way in which it could be used and that is to use Inge's formal dress sign. I run weddings as parties but then use Inge's cat to summon any missing sims and toddlers. The sign will change everyone into formal instantly. I use it because letting the game do it when the vows are made sometimes causes problems and/or lag (less of a problem on my new rig). It's bad enough that you can't stop the couple changing into the boring Maxis wedding outfit: "Look EAxis, I put her into that fancy frock for a reason." Sigh.

But you can if you have at least OfB or TwoJeffs mod!

It got borked again with a later EP - I can't say if it's corrected with AL but it wasn't right for me with FT.

Very interesting pictures and link, Nekonoai. I was aware of the practice of dressing infant and toddler boys in dresses. As a matter of fact, I am in possession of my great grandmother's photo album which contains pictures of a similar vintage to the ones you so kindly shared. It shows a veritable parade of my male ancestors dressed in positively frilly frocks. And the same people who put little boys in dresses would have had a coronary at the thought of putting a little girl in slacks. Horrors! That was in direct violation of Biblical injunction. They'd have sooner let a female child run around nekkid! (Southern word . . . as the inimitable Lewis Grizzard observed, "Naked means you ain't got no clothes on . . . Nekkid means you ain't got no clothes on and you're up to something!")
