I wore rompers from about age 1-6 years of age. I am not sure when mother brought ny first romper suit. But from age 1 through age 5, I mostly wore rompers. Of course as an infant I don't recall, but our family alnum almost always shows me in rompers. I do recall wearing rompers by the time I was 5 and 6 years old. I was still wearing them arhen I turned 6 years old. I stoped wearing rompers when I began prim,ary school. Children in France begin school at age 6. Of course I turned 6 years several months before school began. I got my bhair cut at this time, but still wore rompers. Boys wore rompers in nursery school, but it was very rae in regular primary school. Some boys wore than longer, but not at school. They might still have a dressy bpair of rompers for special occassions. But I stopped wearing them when I began school. This was probably the most common convention for French boys at the time.
