We have little information about rompers in Austria. We know that they were worn in Germany and think they may have also been worn in Austria as well. We do note an image of a French-Austrian boy wearing rompers, but his may be the French more than the Austrian influence. The portrait shows the boy wearing a romper outfit while in France during the 1947, just after World War II. Other inages show him wearing rompers and other French garments. As an older boy he and his brother always wore short pants.
We have little information about rompers in Austria. We know that they were worn in Germany and think they may have also been worn in Austria as well. We believe that as in France that they were through the 1950s garments for boys only, but this need to be confirmed by our Austrian readers.

We believe that the portrait here is a an Austrian photographic portrait. We are not positive about this, but note that the photograph was offered for sale by a Vienna dealer in old photographs. If it had not been for this we would have assumed that the child was French. The photograph is undated, but we believe that it was taken in the early 1950s. We can not tell the child's gender by looking at the photograph. The long hair makes him look like a girl, but very young children like this might still have long hair. We believe that the romers suggest that the child is a boy. I'm not sure about the color of the romper suit, but believe it might be a ligt-blue outfit.
