Our little boy is dressed in his first suit complete with cap! We have chosen organdy for his little tucked shirt, and an appropriate trim of lace with pearl accents. This shirt looks equally handsome with simple pearl buttons sewn down the center front. The bolero styled long sleeved jacket features a fold back cuff which may be unfolded to create added length if necessary. The full knickers are accented with tummy tucks that may be topstitched if desired. The knicker cuffs are tailored in the front while fullness is gathered in the back. Both the jacket and knickers are fashioned in 100" cotton pique. Organdy was pleated to form the front waistband giving the illusion of a cummerbund, while the pants back is elasticized.
