Summary
A baby's white, cotton, vest with an 'envelope' neck with short sleeves (circa 1980). All of the seams are overlocked to leave all the joins flat against the baby's body. The neck edges are also overlocked. There is part of the manufacturer's label at the back of the neck, but the rest has been cut off. There are two pairs of tiny holes where (possibly) labels have been pinned in the past.
