Figure 1.--This postcard shows three Hungarian boys in what looks like a summer family outing. The postcard was addressed to family and friends in Yugoslavia during 1939, we can't make out the month. The boys look to be about 1-5 years old. They are wearing bib-front or possibly H-bar rompers. We can make out the name Kosta Apostolovits whichs sounds Greek. He operated delicatesan. Click on the image to see the message on the back.

We are not sure how common rompers were in hungary. We have so few images that we do not have a good idea about trends and conventions. We suspect that trends were very similar to Germany. We only seepre-school boys wearing rompers. We are not sure to what extent if any girls wore them. We suspect that girls in secondary schools wore middy blouses and bloomers for gym, but we do not kmow about romper suits. We note boys in one family wearing rompers in 1939. We see bib-front rompers, although there may be H-bar rompers as well. The boys look to be about 1-5 years old. They seem to be summer play suits. We do not know if there were dressy rompers as in France. We think play suits with regular shorts were much more common.
