...as in the garment. By rights it should belong to the same category as "shorts", "slacks", etc, which are accepted.

Well I hate to dampen any word suggestions however I have never heard of rompers. I’m guessing they’re pyjamas or tracksuits?

I'd call this item a "romper" or a "romper suit" and "rompers" would be the plural.
