DescriptionThese pink, plain-woven cotton overalls have printed images of children playing--jumping rope, playing ball and on the teeter-totter, etc. Red bias tape is used to trim all of the edges of the overalls. One patch pocket, 3 5/8 x 3 inches, is located 4 3/4 inches up from the hem on the front right pant leg. There are four red plastic 3/4-inch buttons on the overalls. Two of them serve as closures on the 4-inch long side seam plackets and two are on the front neckline, used to secure the 2-inch wide shoulder straps.
