Baby 5-Piece Lace Layette – Restored Vintage Knitting Pattern (1980s) Dress & Matinee Coat Set Bonnet Bootees & Shawl 14''-20'' Premature-12 Months 4-Ply Intermediate A4 & US Letter PDF Instant Download- 95

An exquisite formal lace layette from the 1980s — five fully matching pieces designed for the most precious of occasions. The centrepiece is a beautiful infant gown with a high waistline, short sleeves and a long, lace-panelled skirt; worn over it, a classic open-front flared matinee coat carries the same delicate eyelet lace motif down the body. A coordinating face-framing bonnet and lace-cuffed bootees complete the outfit, while a large, delicate lace shawl — perfect for christenings, presentations or pram use — makes this a truly heirloom set to treasure for generations.
