Figure 1.-- Rompers were very common for 3 year olds through the 1950s. We see quite a number of photographs of French boys wearing rompers at age 3 years. The boy here in rompers looks to be about 3 years old. His brother may be 4 or 5 and is wearing suspender shorts. This photograph was probably taken in the late 1950s.

Rompers were very common for 3 year olds through the 1950s. We see quite a number of photographs of French boys wearing rompers at age 3 years. During the 1960s conventions changed somewhat. They were commonly worn by little boys no more 3 years. A postcard used in 1933 shows a boy who looks to be about 3-4 years of age. A family snapshot shows a little boy about 3 years old in a romper suit. A magazine cover from 1949 shows a family scene with a boy about 3 years of age. A 1947 portrait shows 2 and 3 year old brothers wearing matching rompers. We also notice a boy who looks to be about 3 years old wearing a fancy romper suit, probably an Easter outfit.
