This is a loose fit romper or top designed to fit throughout all stages of life. It includes sizing from newborn up to adult plus! The bubble romper gives you a gender neutral option for matching with your littles.
This is a design offshoot of our Mama Romper. The difference? This nursing panel can go inside the garment or outside of it, allowing you to have a knotted front. This romper has sizing from newborn and up, all in one pattern. And this romper has no pleats. This pattern also comes with a top version, which has it's own instructions in the tutorial.
These make great gifts because it's easy to guess the size!
We included a modifications page that has ideas for modifying the pattern, including how to close up the nursing access after you've weaned, and tips on making a nursing friendly version if you're not sure you'll be nursing.
