There weren’t any buttons on the back the way there were on the original outfit. This gown had been made to go over a baby girl’s body without having to button and unbutton it. When Ron thought about it, the arrangement made sense. Deedee’s full sized gown had to have buttons to dress her because her size as an adult made it almost impossible to change her diapers otherwise. But as a baby, she was so small that it was easy to lift her up and pull the gown out of the way. In addition, a baby would be more likely to be restless and snag the buttons on the crib sheet when she slept. Since the gown was a pullover, there was nothing on the rear of the gown to catch the bedclothes if she tossed and turned in her sleep.
