The term and its associated uniform are less frequently used in current clinical settings. Another hospital volunteer organization sponsored by the American Red Cross, was the "Blue Teens" who wore blue-and-white striped pinafores.

In the 15th and early 16th centuries, gaberdine (variously spelled ') signified a fashionable overgarment, but by the 1560s it was associated with coarse garments worn by the poor. In the 1611 A Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues, Randle Cotgrave glossed the French term gaban as "a cloake of Felt for raynie weather; a Gabardine" Thomas Blount's Glossographia of 1656 defined a gaberdine as "A rough Irish mantle or horseman's cloak, a long cassock". Aphra Behn uses the term for 'Holy Dress', or 'Friers Habits' in Abdelazer (1676), Act 2; this in a Spanish setting. In later centuries gaberdine was used colloquially for any protective overgarment, including labourers' smock-frocks and children's pinafores.

"Kate Greenaway" children, all of them girls and boys too young to be put in trousers, were dressed in her own versions of late 18th century and Regency fashions: smock-frocks and skeleton suits for boys, high-waisted pinafores and dresses with mobcaps and straw bonnets for girls. The influence of children's clothes in portraits by British painter John Hoppner (1758–1810) may have provided her some inspiration. Liberty of London adapted Kate Greenaway's drawings as designs for actual children's clothes. A full generation of mothers in the liberal-minded "artistic" British circles who called themselves The Souls and embraced the Arts and Crafts movement dressed their daughters in Kate Greenaway pantaloons and bonnets in the 1880s and 1890s.

Grace Glueck, writing in The New York Times in 2004, described Gaskell as an established "maker of spooky, tension-filled feminine fictions", her work recalling Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Daphne du Maurier's novel Rebecca and the films of Alfred Hitchcock. In Glueck's view, Gaskell's method is "to create a narrative expectation without fulfilling it", each picture hinting at a situation or story, provoking the viewer to speculate. Glueck does not necessarily approve of this, calling the process of challenging the viewer to make a story "do[ing] the artist's work". Robert Mahoney, reviewing Gaskell's first exhibition of color photographs in 1997, calls the show a "masquerade" with a pair of "pretty twins" playing at Alice in Wonderland in blue pinafores, white tights and "black Mary Jane shoes".

The brushwork of several passages has been seen as deriving from Frans Hals, and nearly contemporaneous works that have been cited for their similarities are Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and, especially for its psychological complexity, The Bellelli Family by Edgar Degas.Tinterow, Lacambre, p.534 Dressed in white pinafores, the children are arranged so that the youngest, four-year-old Julia, sits on the floor, eight- year-old Mary Louisa stands at left, and the two oldest, Jane, aged twelve, and Florence, fourteen, stand in the background, partially obscured by shadow. In very nearly hiding one of the girl's faces and subjugating the characterization of individuals to more formal compositional considerations, The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit is as much about the subject of childhood as it is an example of portraiture.

In 1985, Stanley Marcus said of Eiseman that she had courage in her belief that parents who appreciated good clothes would also wish their children to have good clothing, and that she "defined the market." Eiseman's work was known for using A-line silhouettes, pinafores that could be buttoned to the front of dresses, and bold appliqué designs. Sarah Eichhorn, curator of the fashion collection at Mount Mary University which holds a number of Eiseman designs, described the designer's work as emphasizing the postwar image of the "idyllic, child-centered" American nuclear family and changing the perceptions of children from being miniature adults, to being "playful and innocent." She designed coordinating and matching outfits for siblings, both brother-and-sister and big-and-little-sister sets, and created classic clothing that was intended to be passed down through the generations.

He painted his cousins in their black dresses and white pinafores, while his father wrote letters from Paris, offering advice on how best to proceed with the project, and impatiently awaited his return. Degas wrote of Giulia and Giovanna: > "The elder one was in fact a little beauty. The younger one, on the other > hand, was smart as can be and kind as an angel. I am painting them in > mourning dress and small white aprons, which suit them very well…I would > like to express a certain natural grace together with a nobility that I > don't know how to define...." At year's end, Degas stopped work on the double portrait of his young cousins in order to begin a larger painting; it is unclear whether he was undertaking The Bellelli Family itself, or making preparatory sketches.

At the door of a tea-shop, with its hundred white globes of light, stands a man delivering bills, thanking the public for past favours, and defying competition. Here, alongside the road, are some half-dozen headless tailors' dummies, dressed in Chesterfields and fustian jackets, each labelled, "Look at the prices," or "Observe the quality." After this is a butcher's shop, crimson and white with meat piled up to the first-floor, in front of which the butcher himself, in his blue coat, walks up and down, sharpening his knife on the steel that hangs to his waist. A little further on stands the clean family, begging; the father of with his head down, as if in shame, and a box of lucifers held forth in his hand—the boys in newly-washed pinafores, and the tidily got-up mother with a child at her breast.

Prettejohn, p. 23 In 1887, Henry James described the painting as representing a "happy play-world ... of charming children"; his uncomplicated reading went largely unquestioned for nearly a century. Modern criticism has acknowledged the painting's unsettling qualities, that it is a picture both beautifully painted and psychologically unnerving, in which the girls appear to be seen at successive phases of childhood, retreating into alienation and a loss of innocence as they grow older.Prettejohn, p. 23 The sense of autonomy among the girls (and the vitality of Sargent's paint) has often made viewers feel as if by looking at the portrait, they have interrupted the children, who glance up in response. While today's audiences have sometimes assumed that the girls are engaged in some sort of clandestine activity, in Sargent's day the most frequent notion was that they had simply been playing. The pinafores were certainly appropriate garments for girls at play, and the majority of writers who discussed the painting when it was first displayed characterized it as an image of children participating in or having just finished a game.

An early written account of the native wildlife of Althorpe Island was printed in the South Australian Register in 1879: > "Mutton birds make their 'holey' habitations on all sides of the Althorpes; > seals sport in secluded spots; swift seagulls and solemn shags make the > welkin (whatever instrument that is) ring consumedly; penguins, like little > lads in white pinafores, inhabit the nooks and crannies of the rocks... > Sharks, sometimes of enormous size, may often be seen meandering softly > round the ocean streets." In 1951, a lighthouse keeper described the native wildlife at Althorpe Island: > "Penguins nest there in the mating season, and their young are to be seen in > nooks and crannies around the shore. During the summer months, from > September to March, mutton birds migrating from Siberia nest on the island > in millions, digging their nests in the soil, under bushes and literally > covering the ground... Years ago, seals were plentiful on the island, but > owing to large scale slaughter during the early days of the State, few, if > any, remain."Holbert, Kendall "Life at Althorpe Lighthouse" Chronicle, South > Australia (1951-07-26).
