We have only limited infmation on Todler outfit at this time, but have begun to collect information. The toidler years are geerally seen from the end of infancy (about 1 year) to the pre-school years )age4-5 years. Thus the todler year are about ages 1-3 years. We note a Lane Bryant catalog with outfits for todlers. We note rompers which Lane Bryant calls creepers. They were rather long rompers done to knee length. They were done in sizes 6 months - 2 years. We also notice outits that are beginnig to look like shortalls. An outfit describd as an overall play suit, but looking like shortalls was done in sizes 1-3 years. Other outfits like short sets, Fauntleroy suits, and sailor suits were done in todler sizes, but also in larger sizes to about 8 years of age.
A reader writes, "There is also the issue that even in the 1922 Wards catalog many rompers
were worn by boys to age 6 or 8 and now they are being called creepers and
the age has dropped to a maximum of three with few rompers for older boys.
We see this juvenile trend over the years with many outfits such as button
on short suits etc. The romper may be one of the first to show such a
trend."
