Summary
A 'cuddle robe' for use when drying a baby after its bath (2007). A towelling square with a triangular 'hood' made out of one corner and a matching 'mitt' for washing or drying the baby. Both are made from cream polycotton towelling fabric bound with cream polycotton tape. The outside surface of the hood is made from cream polycotton which has an appliquéd 'furry' teddy on a pale blue, spotty background - it has embroidered details and a real, plastic tummy button! The mitt is rounded at the closed end and has two upper-case 'B's embroidered in light brown near the open end - one normal and one italicised. Total number of items is 2.
