Romper suit

[1] They were popular as playwear for younger children because people thought they were ideal for movement as they could be so easily morphed between a one-piece and a two-piece.

They were light and loose fitting, a major change from the much more restrictive clothing children wore during the 19th-century Victorian era.

Thereafter the garment has continued to be used by infants and toddlers; however, it has become less common among older girls and women, although never disappearing entirely.

In the 1970s rompers were usually a casual garment made of terrycloth, and often in a tube top style.
