Bamboo velour romper

So I'm really unsure what to call it. At first I called it a jumpsuit, then I thought playsuit would be better. I really like romper though so thats what I'll stick with unless it is actually something else.
Montana chose the colours for me to dye the velour and I would have to say she has great taste. I drafted a simple shorts and bodice pattern to Montanas size and started cutting and sewing. I didn't know if you could shirr bamboo velour or not but found out you can! I shirred around the waist and a couple of rows across the back. The leg holes were loose but Montana wanted elastic in themwhich was a good idea because it ballooned them beautifully.
Good in the sandpit....
and fun for rollerskating.
