A very nice vintage pattern from the 1950’s. A cute pram suit in a nice retro style. The pattern is clear and easy to understand. It’s out of print, of course, but you can find it often on the UK Ebay…

They did have other types of diapers back then and you can notice that in the pattern. The upper part of the pants is larger than modern pants. Nowadays baby’s have diapers that are much tighter and lighter than the heavy cotton and molton diapers in the 1950’s. If you want the pants to be a bit tighter around the bottom, then you could increase a bit faster…
