Baby's clothes-Jabla

Jabla is a comfortable baby’s wear. It is always better if it is stitched with thin soft cotton fabric. Pastel colours look good. Neck is finished with a casing through which a draw string is passed.It is advisable to tie the draw string near the shoulder to avoid baby from pulling it.
