Most of the images we have noted with younger German children wearing rompers depict boys wearing them, although it is often difficult to tell with younger children. We are unsure to what extent German girls also wore them, especially older girls. Here conventions varied from country to country. We note both boys and girls wearing them in America, but only boys in France. We have noted a few images of German girls wearing rompers, but we are not sure how common this was. The little girl here was photographed in her romper suit in 1927 (figure 1). We have noted German boys in similar outfits, but in the late 1930s. We do not yet have any images of German boys in such short puffed pants outfits at such an early date. The same is true of France. We had thought that the rompers we note German boys wearing in the late-1930s was a style imported from France. a. We do not know what age girls wore romer suits. This girl was 5 years old, but as we have few other images or other information, we do not know if rompers were worn by older girls. There is a big exception here. We do note older German girls, especially teenagers, wearing rompers for school althletics and gymnastics, but not as far as w can tell for regular schoolwear.
