Figure 1.--Here we see the two older children from a family beach holiday to Somerset (southwestern England) in 1928. The teenage girl wears rompers. The teenage boy wears a long-sleeve shirt and white long pants. They look to be about 13-15 years old.

The few images we have found of English children wearing rompers are mostly pre-school children. We have found some images of older girls, including teenagers wearing rompers. This seems to have begun at about the same time rompers first appeared. Only younger boys wore rompers, but teenage girls wore them. We have no idea how common this was in the 1920s. By the 1960s we see school-age girls wearing rompers. A good example is an unidentified girl with a swim club group. We are not sure if she is wearing her romper suit as a swimsuit or after swiming, but it seens to be swimsuit. This was appaently a swimsuit, but would not have been very good for competitive swimming. Perhaps she just put it on after the competition. American girls wore similar romper outfits.
