All-silk Long-Sleeved Baby-body

Please note this is Bourette silk not filament silk - Bourette silk has a warm, natural earthy feel.

Sizing
These bodies are very generous across the chest, tummy and bottom but average in length. We have translated from the continental sizing into British sizing as follows.

• 56/62: 0-3m
• 68cm: 3-6m
• 80cm: 6-12m
• 92cm: 12-24m

It may help to know that the average UK 2-year-old is 86cm tall.

Bourette silk
Bourette Silk is spun silk and has a warm, "earthy", natural feel. Silk is thought to be very helpful for eczema sufferers, and our Bourette silk is chemical and dye-free. This silk is IMO certified as organic and comes from a regeneration project near ChengDu in China. Find out more here.

Washing
Machine-washable at 30C. Please use a liquid detergent for delicates to protect the fabric - we recommend our "wool shampoo" or Ecover delicates. At a pinch, use your own shampoo in preference to normal washing powder, which is designed for cotton!
