Summary
Two pairs of 'Mothercare' baby's plastic waterproof knickers (circa 1980), elasticated at waist and knickerleg, with a loose covering of white nylon mesh stitched together at seams and hems. A label stitched on the inside seam says 'Helena, 100% Nylon, 100% PVC lining'. It gives the size '12lbs (5.5kgs)' and the washing instructions. They are contained in a plastic bag with a printed label, purple on white 'Mothercare, Made In Malta, 2 Waterproof pants, 75p.'. They appear unworn. Total number of items is 3.
