Layette

In the 1920s, expectant mothers or their friends and relatives frequently knitted a matching layette set, consisting of a blanket, hat, sweater and booties.

[1] Expectant parents today are more likely to purchase pre-curated layette sets from brands.

[2] Traditionally, women would often hand-sew or knit their baby's clothes during their pregnancy.

Today "layette" is often used to identify a baby clothing section of a store.

In English, the word is borrowed from French: layette, meaning a small box or coffer.
