Using a vintage WW2 Coveralls pattern as a base, I sew myself 3 different pieces that can be mixed and matched to make 4 different, super cute outfits. What a great way to maximize on a capsule wardrobe and save space in your closet! All four iterations are really cute you have the original, full jumpsuit with the 1940s style blouse front, joined to the original pants pattern that has GIANT pockets. Then you can switch out the blouse for a pair of more modernly styled overalls BUT that use a straps pattern that was patented in the 1890s for use on athletic corsets. The pants and the original blouse can also be worn separately, as part of normal wardrobe... I suppose technically you could say the same thing about the overalls top, but it might look a bit silly!
