Layette :
A layette is a collection of clothing for a newborn child. The
term "layette set" is commonly used in the United States
to refer to gift sets of baby clothes.
Traditionally, women would hand-sew their baby's clothes during
their pregnancy. Today "layette" is often used to identify
a baby clothing section of a store. The term can also be used
for bedding, accessories, and baby care items.
Basic layette items include:
· a going-home-from-the-hospital outfit
· legless sleepwear (sleeping gowns / kimonos / sleeping
bags / newborn sacques / blanket sleepers) or footed sleepers
· onesies (short-sleeved, legless bodysuits) / all-in-ones
/ rompers / coveralls
· undershirts / T-shirts
· receiving blankets
· swaddling blankets
· hooded towels
· baby washcloths
· socks / booties
· hats / beanies / sweaters / bunting (depending on the
climate)
· burp cloths (cloth diapers are often recommended)
The amount of each item needed varies by recipient, and is mostly
a matter of willingness to do laundry.
T-shirt :
A T-shirt (or tee shirt) is a shirt, usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and short sleeves, that is pulled on over the head and covers most of a person's torso. The sleeves of the T-shirt extend at least slightly over the shoulder but not completely over the elbow. A shirt that is either longer or shorter than this ceases to be a T-shirt, at least in the classic sense.
