1920s Twill One Piece Knicker Jumpsuit

A very interesting piece. In the past I’ve had two-piece twill hiking/camping knicker sets and suits from the 20s which included a pair of knickers and a matching middy top and have seen plenty of ads for those, but I haven’t seen a one-piece before. It looks like a cross between a gym suit and a knicker suit and looks to have been home sewn.

Fabricated in khaki cotton twill

All buttons are decorative/ non-functional. Fastens with snaps at the shoulder, leg opening and and down the side seam (I have added a hook and eye at the waist and at the top of the side seam opening so that it stays closed.

***The leg opening runs snug when fastened. I have shown it worn fastened and unfastened.

Clean finished with binding on the openings and armholes and neck.

Interior seams raw/unfinished.
