Figure 1.--Here we see a German boy playing with his little sister during the summer in their back yard. He wears plain romper pants without the suspender straps we usually see. The snapshot is undated, but was probably taken in the early-1940s. |

We also notice German boys wearing romper pants without any strap suspension. Perhaps some had elasticized waists. These were not nearly as common as the romper pants with strap suspension. We do not find very many of these plain romper pants in the photographic records, but we do see a few examples. Th Most seem to date to the 1940s or perhaps the early-50s. These plain romper pants seem to be almost entirely outdoor summer play outfits. The romper pants with suspender straps could be both play garments and deressier garments. The plain romper pants as far as we can tell were strictly a play garment.
