Our son was visiting over Xmas with our new grand daughter.
During one of her Nappie (do they still call them that ?) changes I was reminded of the garment tiny babies wore ,I think we called them 'Liberty Bodice'
Two arm holes and they wrapped around tying with a ribbon at the front
Anyone remember?

I remember the liberty bodice and think we wore them up to being about 8 years old, from what I remember they buttoned down the front

Hi.

from what I remember they buttoned down the front

I remember they were fleecy lined and had rubber buttons down the front.

I wasn't allowed to go out without my liberty bodice till I was about 9.
You'll catch your death I was told.
