they are two of the questions I'm most frequently asked, "what's a layette?" and "do I need one?" the answers are: a layette is a complete set of clothing and other accessories for a newborn baby. the word itself is french, meaning "little box," suggesting that when the term came into being, a newborn's necessities were a lot less than what we consider necessities nowadays. by today's standards, a layette for babies can consist of as many items as the parents choose. the basics usually include items of newborn baby clothing, including onesies, side-snap shirts, convertible gowns, sleepers, socks, hats, blankets and bedding. in a nutshell, if it's meant to be worn somehow by a newborn baby, then it's likely to be part of your layette.
and, yes, you will need a layette. even if it's just the basics.
chase's treasures layette items are grouped both by product (for example, footies, convertible gowns, etc...) and also by design collection (double zigzag collection, dot collection, stripe collection, etc...).
