Figure 1.--This Texas boy had his portrait taken at the Blue Bird Studio in Houston. The portrait is undated, but we suspect was taken in the 1920s. The boy's romper suit has a square cut sailor neck opening with no collar.

The collar design of romper suits could vary substantially. Some romper suits were made with Peter Pan collars, although the collar was often not white. The Peter Pan collar was the most common collar for those suits with collars. On many play romper suits the collar was the same material as the suit.We have noted some rompers without any collar at all. The head opening was sometimes done rather as a square sailor-type cut. This was a common design for play suits. The romper suit the Texas boy here is wearing has this square opening. the suit here looks to be a play suit. There were also rounded cuts neck openings.
