Dutch Boys' Clothes: Unidentified Family (late 1940s)


Figure 1.--This Dutch family had two children, a boy and a girl. They look to be about 5-7 years old. We are a little unsure about the date. We would guess that it was probably taken in the late 1940s, but the early 50s is also possible. The boy looks to be wearing suspender rompers rather than regular shorts, although it is a little difficylt to tell for sure.

Rompers were a popular style for boys in France, but we have less information on the Netherlands. We know that Dutch boys wore rompers, but are ubsure how popular they were. The girl wears a Spring dress with a glorious hair bow.
