DescriptionInfant's coat (.a) and bunting set (.b) of light blue fleece.
The coat (.a) has an attached hood, the opening of which is bound with one-inch-wide blanket binding. A matching ribbon is inserted in a casing behind the binding and ties in a bow on the top of the hood. The coat opens down the center front and fastens with two snaps. The ends of the sleeves fold over the hands to keep them covered; by folding them back, the hands are exposed. The coat has two buttonholes in the back which correspond to buttons inside the bunting, so the two pieces can be attached.
The bunting (.b) is bag-shaped, with a zipper down the center front, covered by the bound edge of the bunting. A matching bow ties the edges together at the top of the zipper. The top corners fold back to expose the infant's coat. Two white plastic buttons are stitched on a cotton tape reinforcement inside the back of the bunting.
