Why pink?
And when did girls start dressing in pink, for that matter? (Hint: a lot more recently than you probably imagine.)
This episode also covers whether you actually need baby clothes (probably not, historically speaking) and how long a girls skirts should be, and we also touch on why the boys don't get lace, ruffles, and pink.
I also mention Kelly Chase and the History Detective Podcast which you can find here: https://historydetectivepodcast.com/. Her new book History, Her Story, Our Story is available through that website.
