Can someone explain the picture of Charles II of England as an infant in what appears to be a dress? What were the dress customs of the royal infants during this period of English history and was this something out of the ordinary?

I can't link the picture in this sub but if you look up Charles II infant it should be pretty apparent the one I'm talking about...

edit: I should have said painting sorry for the anachronism

It doesn't directly address the time period or person in question, but here's a previous answer by /u/chocolatepot that talks about the practice of putting children of either sex in dresses.
