The Sailor Suit: Late 1800s through the 1930s

The sailor girl look was popular as swimwear in the late 1880s and evolved into the next century to include sportswear such as tennis and sailing and even casual dresses.

Nautical fashion was popular for children, too. Both boys and girls wore sailor style outfits

1928 ensemble • Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two illustrated fashion catalog pages. The one on the right featuring the popular 1920s middy blouse in the nautical style. The blouse derived its name from the word "midshipman". The catalog page on the left shows models photographed wearing the middy style blouse tucked into a straight tennis skirt and a pleated skirt with the middy worn untucked, in what is perhaps a sailing ensemble.

Athletic ensemble • American • 1929 • Metropolitan Museum of Art

In early 20th-century America, sailor dresses were very popularly known as Peter Thomson dresses after the former naval tailor credited with creating the style for the U.S. Navy.

Writing Reference: Lexical Blends

A lexical blend - takes two lexemes which overlap in form, and welds them together to make one.

Lexeme - the smallest contrastive unit in a semantic system (run, cat, switch on); also called lexical item.

Some longstanding examples & a few novelties from recent publications:

motor + hotel = motel

breakfast + lunch = brunch

helicopter + airport = heliport

smoke + fog = smog

advertisement + editorial = advertorial

Channel + Tunnel = Chunnel

Oxford + Cambridge = Oxbridge

Yale + Harvard = Yarvard

slang + language = slanguage

guess + estimate = guesstimate

square + aerial = squaerial

toys + cartoons = toytoons

breath + analyser = breathalyser

affluence + influenza = affluenza

information + commercials = infomercials

dock + condominium = dockominium

NOTES

Enough of each lexeme is usually retained so that the elements are recognizable.

In most cases, the second element is the one which controls the meaning of the whole.

Example: "brunch" is a kind of lunch, not a kind of breakfast – which is why the lexeme is brunch and not, say, "lunkfast".

Similarly, a "toytoon" is a kind of cartoon (one which generates a series of shop toys), not a kind of toy.

Blending increased in popularity in the latter half of the 20th century, being increasingly used in commercial and advertising contexts:

Products were sportsational, swimsational, and sexsational.

TV provided dramacons, docufantasies, and rockumentaries.

The forms are felt to be eye-catching and exciting; but how many of them will still be around in 2050 remains an open question.
