Photographs of the back of romper suits are very rare. Obviously photographers mostly shoot the front of children so you can see their faces. This is one reason that vintage clothing and sewing patterns are very helpful. We assume that this romper suit opened at the back with buttons, rather like a dress. This would mean to buttons extended from the dollar down to the waistline. Given the age of the children involved, this would make sence because most would need mother's help in dressing. It is also a reason explaining why the bodice of some rompers are done like dresses and smocks.
