Figure 1.-- We note for example two brithers wearing identical romper outfits with tops that look like jackets or shirts. we think in the late-1950s when the romper style was especially popular in france. Mother has added polkadot bows to complere the outfits. We can not tell what kind of rompers the boys were wearing because the jackets cover up the top part of the rompers. They were probably either plain boxer-style romper pants or more likely suspender rompers. The elaticised waist or the suspenders were neeeded to hold them up. The home sewing also expanded the age range which was especially important when mother wanted to dress boys in identical outfits. The boys here look to be about 4-7 years old.

We notice a range of other romper outfits tht do not seem to fall easily into the major variants listed here. The romper style was very popular and seen as stylish. Thus mothers came up with many differenbt variants of the basic romper types. A factor was that many mothers as well as aunts and grandmothers sewed at home. This led to more variety than the standard romper types available in the shops.
