My daughter is all of 3 yrs old and refuses to wear anything thats longer than her knees or dresses with sleeves. She prefers selecting her own clothes at the store... something I'd not done till I was almost 20! My mom picked my clothes, and my sister's too (we often ended up wearing the same design in different colors) and we wore those without any fuss.
Here's a short graph of what our clothes looked like in our rustic days...
Balloon frocks - these skirts were folded inside till the waist to give the "balloon" effect
Parkar-polka and Kalpana saree - this was for the festive occasions. A parkar polka is actually the Maharashtrian version of ghaghra choli without the dupatta and the Kalpana saree is a pre-stitched saree for small girls
Pinafore dresses - staid trouser material was stitshed to make pinafore and we wore blouses inside these
Bell-bottoms - i remember my grandpa buying 4 of these in various colors - one each for my sis, me and my 2 cousins. All had the same design t-shirt too!
Peddle-pushers - these are actually what we now call "capris" or 3/4 length pants - then typically made in corduroy.
Baggies - Ankle length loose fit pants worn with a hip length top and a broad belt.
Bloomers - underwear that's supposed to look like shorts with an elastic at the legs!
