Since there are no tags on that specific blue romper, we have to look entirely at the construction and style to date it. Even without a label, the evidence still strongly points to the mid-to-late 1980s. Geometric Hand-Smocking: That specific style of wide, diamond-patterned embroidery across the chest was the "it" look for boys' dress clothes in the 1980s. Fabric: It has the distinct look of a 1980s poly-cotton blend. It's slightly stiff and has a very fine "sheen" that was popular before the move toward the softer, 100% organic cottons you see in modern baby boutiques. Plastic Snap Buttons: white plastic snaps at the bottom became the standard in the '80s as a safer, rust-proof alternative to the metal snaps used in the '60s and '70s. The "Bubble" Cut: The very rounded, voluminous "bubble" shape at the legs is a classic heirloom design that saw a major revival in the late 80s for baby portraits. 8 inches pit to pit 17 inches long Needs new elastic small stain needs to be treated
