    Abstract: A garment formed essentially as a sack, the infant's feet occupying a common compartment, the garment having closures located along the top or shoulder portions of the garment and down the front of the garment, the closures comprising a series of intermittently spaced detachably fastenable closure means. The garment is further formed so as to have an aperture for the neck and apertures for the arms and/or hands. The garment may be formed by sewing to a back panel, right and left front panels along the outside edges corresponding to the underarms, the sides and foot of the garment. Alternatively, the garment may be formed by knitting or weaving a sack having an essentially T-shaped configuration. In the preferred embodiment, the series of intermittently spaced detachably fastenable closure means comprise hook and loop closure means.
