French Romper Types: Blouse-jacket Rompers


Figure 1.--This little French boy wears a romper outfit in 1958. He looks to be abput 2 years old. Note that his blouse is not tucked in, but rather worn as a kind of jacket or tunic. We are not sure how popular this type of romper was.

Two-piece romper suits were suspender romers with a blouse that tucket into the romper panys. Some buttoned on to the rompers. This was by far the most common type of two-piece romper suits. We note a few boys weating a kind of blouse jacket. It was not tucked into the romper pants. Rather it was worn like a jacket that hung over the waistline of the romper pants. I'm not sure how the rompers were held up, they may have been suspender rompers. We are not entirely sure how common these rompers were, but we do not note many examples in the photographic record.
