Abstract/Hauptbeschreibung (Englisch)

The development of the Bulgarian children’s monarchical clothing follows the changes of the monarchical clothes throughout the historical stages in Bulgaria. There is almost no information from the Medieval Ages for the Children’s Monarchic Costume. The main information is obtained from the London Gospel, depicting Tsar Ivan-Alexander with his wife Sarah-Theodora and their two sons. The period of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom gives the most detailed information about the development of children’s monarchical clothing. It is characterized by going to keep up with the fashion for children in other European monarchical families. Information about this is taken from the many photographs and portraits of the royal heirs. Their clothing is simpler to such loaded with many decorative elements. Also, they are not excluded from the Bulgarian national costume, which in some cases are even leading.
