Baby Girls' Knitted Floral Bodysuit, Sleeveless Romper

A knitted floral bodysuit sits somewhere between everyday wear and an occasion piece. The knit gives it texture that a printed cotton bodysuit does not have, and the sleeveless strap cut keeps it firmly in summer.

What defines it

• Knitted construction with floral detailing worked into the fabric
• Sleeveless strap cut with a bubble shaping through the body
• Stretches with movement, which suits a baby starting to sit and crawl
• Textured enough to wear on its own without needing accessories
• Light enough for genuine summer heat

Knitted pieces should be dried flat rather than hung wet, which is what preserves the shape at the shoulders and straps. Wash cool and reshape while damp.

Quick answers

Is knit too warm for summer? An open summer knit breathes well. It is the weight of the yarn rather than the knitting that determines warmth.

Will the straps stretch? Not if dried flat. Hanging knitwear wet is what pulls straps and shoulders out of shape.

Can it be layered? Yes. Over a plain short-sleeve bodysuit it extends usefully into spring.
