People give the 1980s a hard time. In many cases, this abuse is justified; however, there are quite a few things from the 80s that are quite good, and many of these are as much in vogue now as they were then. The really bad stuff has been sifted out, burned, and hopefully buried forever, but some items have made a deserved comeback.Example:
When R's mom came out to visit us a few weeks ago, she brought some baby clothes that were worn by R's two younger brothers -- both born in the 1980s. R's sister J worried that we would not really like any of the items that were sent our way. However, there were a few real gems in there. Here are some pictures of my particular favourites.
Who can resist a yellow sleeper with rainbow-striped sleeves and a little blue elephant poking out of the chest pocket? I am quite excited to dress our little munchkin in this outfit, as well as the sporty #7 velour tracksuit that would even make Kevin Federline jealous.
Yes, the 80s had some issues, but they produced some sweet baby clothes. If anyone has any hot leads on vintage baby clothes, let me know.

Glad you were so excited with the clothes. At least you know you can give away what you don't like or use and someone else will be thrilled to get it. Helen
Watch your mailbox because one more vintage outfit should be arriving any day. AAAAAAAAH!
Check your local thrift store!
Hey, when you have your "girl" don't forget the "Walters Baptism Clothes" that have been worn by Walters' girls since your aunt Cathy with a few exceptions! Maxine's best friend wanted her to wear a cute pair of pajamas her mom had made for her baptism. IDEA SPAWNED! Sadly to say Rachelle was one of the exceptions as, Grandma forgot to being them! Karla was another, as her very best friend across the street wanted her to wear a beautiful dress she had - and she opted over the flannel/eylet pajams that were getting to be a tradition. Can't believe I used to be that good of a seamstress, they still look great. Latest one to wear them was this month, Brittany Hill! Yes, they definitely are VINTAGE!
Love it. The pocket is the best part. Junior is going to be stylin!
