The pattern for this one-piece romper suit appeared in The Ladies Home Journal. Unfortunately we do not have the date of the issue, but would guess the early 1920s. It was done with a size 20 inch bust. The description read, "Child's One-Piece
Rompers, closing at back and lower edge. Having box-plait at center-front and shirring or smocking at each side. Long one-piece
gathered sleeves finished with wristbands, or long one-piece plain sleeves finished with cuffs and perforated for shorter length." The suggested fabrics were: peggy cloth, poplin, twilled jean, pique, chambray, cotton rep, suiting, and linene. The suggested colors were gray, white, medium green, dark blue, tan, and blue. Materials required: 1-5/8 Yds. 36" fabric.
