A knitted "onesie"

The mind, and imagination, boggles!

However, Sheena, you are old enough to remember Winnie Churchill's siren suit in WW 2, don't you?

Bruce, you do find the most interesting items!!!! LOLOL! Are you the model???

I doubt whether I'd have the strength to put it on let alone stand up in it. And what happens if you go out wearing it in the rain? Bruce

The gusset would probably drop down to your knees.

Like the swim suit my mother knitted for me during WW11. Since wool was not available she knitting it in the yarn that was being produced. When I went to the swimming baths first time wearing it at a mixed session, I got in the water and immediateness the waist was round my bottom and my new bosom on full view. I hastily gathered yards of wet fabric up to hide my modesty and blushes and rushed to the changing room. I went back to wearing the darned moth eaten one donated by a neighbour. It dated back to the 1920's. Can laugh about it now but it was not funny at the time

My husband saw this on a totally different site, here in the US. I told him there weren't enough sheep for the wool, and I didn't have enough years to make it. LOL

Shirley, I remember my mother very proudly knitted me a blue and yellow two piece swim suit...maybe just at the end of the war, when things were hard to get. I will never forget rising from the ocean like aphrodite, hands covering the non-existant bust LOLOL. I also remember the ghastly bilious yellow silk nighty she made me from a parachute which someone had obtained. Yuck!!

WE must be close to the same age..I was born in 1936.

Wow - what a ton of work and skill went into that. I hope it gets passed thru many babies in your family.

Wow.

Oops - I thought it was donned by a toddler. Sorry.

I hope the knitter made a back flap, other wise he will freeze every time he goes to the little room mirjam

LOLOL! Too funny, Mirjam!!!

My mother called that a 'drop seat'. My foot pajamas had em.
