The Gift Pinafore
A needlecord pinafore whose straps climb a ladder of three buttonholes as the child does.
The making
Cut from 16 wale needlecord and made in India, lined in cotton cambric. Three buttonholes worked by hand on each strap, with corozo buttons. Three ruled lines on the name tape inside the bib facing.
How it grows
Three buttonholes on each strap, worked by hand. Move the corozo button up a hole as the child grows — three positions, and the bib sits right at each one.

Size & growth
Sizes 2/3 to 13/14, cut with room to move rather than room to grow into. Take the usual age and expect roughly one more size of wear from the growth mechanism. Full measurements in the size chart.
Shipping
Free shipping across India on prepaid orders. Made to order — 3 to 4 working days to make, then 4 to 5 days to reach you.
Three steps, one more size.
No machine topstitch on the face of the cloth, so letting the hem down leaves nothing behind but the crease.
Three lines inside the collar.
One for each child who wears it. Write the first name and leave the other two — the garment is built to reach them.
Nothing here is decoration. The hem, the strap ladder and the tape inside the collar are all doing a job.
