This bodysuit side snaps and a kimono style so you can easily change your baby's clothes withut pulling the garment over his or her head.
This pure filament silk (organic 'Bio-silk') is processed in a way that preserves the natural luster and smooth, reflective surface of silk, so this baby shirt will have the smooth, 'silky' texture that comes to mind that most people associate with of silk. This is quite different from the texture of bourette silk or raw silk, from which some of Alkena's other baby products are made.
