In this assignment I am going to describe the silhouette of the garment designed by me.
In our cultural fest, we developed a range of fashion outfits taking the theme “Rajasthan in Paris”, in which we had to choose traditional Rajasthani fabrics and put them into western silhouettes.
The outfit designed by me was an off-white coloured romper made from Sanganeri block printed fabric of the Sanganer district of Rajasthan, which was styled with the corset belt embellished with the patchwork done with vibrant fabrics of kutch embroidery and mirror work.
The overall look was quite dramatic with the hair styled into deadlocks and bold smoky eyes and dark lip shade.
Rompers have been in trends from a quite few years. These days, the romper is back in a big way, with designers featuring rompers on the runway and retailers experimenting with patterns, tailored and relaxed silhouettes, and eye-catching details.
ORIGIN
Rompers began as children’s clothing, which explains their similarity to overalls, jumpers. The earliest advertisement found for rompers was in issue of the New York Times from 1904. The add called rompers “pinafore like garments” with the skirt portion gathered into shorts for comfort. Easy to play in and often made of cotton or other washable material, rompers were the go-to play clothes of the 20th century. Rompers continued to be popular into the ’20s, as much for stylish young women as for children. In the ’70s, the romper’s leggy cousin, the jumpsuit, was a wardrobe staple for anyone with its one-piece design, the romper was a chic alternative to a blouse and full skirt and could be dressed up or down, depending on the fabric. disco on the brain. Since then, jumpsuits have gone in and out of fashion, recently being revived as part of spring 2011’s 1970s trend.
While rompers had been popular among women in the 1950s, they re-emerged in the 1970s as a fashion for adult women. In the 1970s rompers were usually a casual garment made of terrycloth, and often in a tube top style. They were common in the 1980s in a wider variety of materials such as silky fabrics for evening wear. Since 2006, rompers have enjoyed a minor renaissance as a fashionable garment for women. Though much less common, rompers for men have been produced. Several designers have presented collections including romper suits and they are offered by many retailers. Designers include Deborah Sweeney and Juliette Hogan.
In the 2010s the “sleep romper” for women gained popularity, being similar in style to the teddy, but with the appearance of shorts.
In 2017, the Male Romper was originally showcased in Milan, Italy. It is a romper for men and is sometimes referred to as a “romphim”.
