Worn over a light flannel shirt, Lorraine keeps her core warm when Little Miss is busy exploring the garden.

Little arms are free to move. No wrestling over big heads either. Change style in seconds with only two buttons to adjust.

Fun and versatile, Lorraine makes an original addition to a little wardrobe.
