Laura-Louise's Layette
A tongue-in-cheek homage to Rosemary’s Baby, this fancy layette, fit for the newborn Son of Satan, includes a sweater, bonnet, and little mitts designed to keep him from scratching people with his tiny devil claws. Lacy edges, a touch of eyelet, and some silk ribbon will make any baby look like a prince (or princess).
