A vest (or singlet) is THIS

If it has SLEEVES it's a T-shirt

If it has POPPERS at the crotch it's a fucking babygro. Or a onesie, if you must. NOT a fucking VEST.

I am so pissed off that the penny has only just dropped now. You've been confusing me for years on this. Particularly as adults wear vests and in that context it doesn't have bloody poppers at the crotch now, does it!?

YABVU. And weird.

Vest - Long or short sleeves. NO LEGS, No poppers or zip.
Babygro - Long or short sleeves. Have legs, poppers or zip.
Bodysuit - Long or short sleeves. NO LEGS. Have poppers or zip.

It's a vest, they can have no sleeves, short sleeves or long sleeves. the only reason they have poppers between the legs is because babies spend the majority of their time lying down and the poppers stop the vest riding up and making the baby uncomfortable.

Babygro's are the all in one sleep suit things with arms and legs.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 04/12/2013 21:24

*meant lying down and being picked up.

And also swooshed forward to be winded.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 04/12/2013 21:26

And thank you OP for finding us something new to argue about. Makes a change from disabled toilets and P&T parking spaces.

Babygros have arms legs and feet.

Vests have no legs.

On babies with nappies they popper under the crotch. They can be sleeveless short sleeved or long sleeved.

Onesie is American word haven't heard it until recently but if you said it would think babygro for adult.

SecretSantaFix · 04/12/2013 22:21

A romper is an all in one garment with short or long sleeves and legs.

SomethingOnce · 04/12/2013 22:27

Babygro is a brand name for sleepsuit.

SomethingOnce · 04/12/2013 22:28

And rompers don't have feet, otherwise they become sleepsuits.

Madmammy83 · 05/12/2013 20:36

Someone define pramsuit!

AmeliaToppingLovesShopping · 05/12/2013 21:05

Isn't a pram suit basically a snowsuit but maybe a bit thinner?

SecretSantaFix · 05/12/2013 21:14

Pramsuit is an all in one that is not thickly wadded or quilted and is worn over thinner layers.

maddening · 05/12/2013 21:18

A vest goes under a babygro - a vest can have long ir short sleeves - may or may not fasten under the crotch but has no legs.

A babygro- aka romper suit/ sleep suit etc generally has sleeves and legs. Romper suit can also have more trouser or short style legs but sleepsuit has feet on the legs (and sometimes includes mittens)

I thought a pram suit involved a cardy or jacket

Call it whatever you like though - it matters not in the grand cosmic order of things.

IamInvisible · 05/12/2013 21:24

No, you're wrong.

A baby vest has short sleeves or no sleeves, poppers under the crotch.
A babygro has legs, maybe feet and sleeves.

And don't say singlet. DH says singlet and it annoys me. It is a fecking vest!

UriGeller · 05/12/2013 21:24

AND.....vests (that is bodysuits, with poppers) were called Onesies at one point.

I got very confused when adults started calling their huuuuge babygros "Onesies"

TheWazzock · 05/12/2013 21:34

I'm trying to figure out why this thread has made me so very very cross Hmm
OP, YABVVVU and wrong. So so wrong.

IamInvisible · 05/12/2013 21:42

And me Wazzock! Xmas Hmm
(Great name btw)

Longdistance · 05/12/2013 21:55

Op seen as you live in Oz, it's named a different thing there.

Vests go under a babygro. Baby Bonds is crap anyway. You don't need a vest under any clothes in Oz this time of year as it's too hot.
