1984 Preemie Clothing Series Summary
Description
This outfit has two pieces:
- Cotton gown. It has a white square yoke at the neck which is trimmed in lace and has a bow bottom centre. The bottom hem of the gown is straight. There are two parallel lines of lace running around the bottom of the gown. The sleeves also have a line of lace parallel to the hem and are trimmed with lace. The lace around the bottom hem is different from the lace everywhere else.
- Bonnet. It is the same colour as the gown and trimmed with two lines of lace (which is different from the lace on the dress)
Footwear: Knit booties
This outfit was most likely sold only from 1984 – 1985. Some packaged versions may have sold later than that.

If you have an outfit that is not recorded here or does not match my information, (e.g. you have a 4F OK that is pink, not baby blue) I would appreciate hearing from you. Information is best sent in the form of pictures. For details on the pictures required, jump to Taking Clothing Tag Pics.
Variations
> There are no observable differences between outfits produced by different factories.
> 25th Anniversary Preemie Outfits: I am unsure how these differ from the originals as I haven’t seen one up close. These outfits only came in one version.
