Abstract

An adjustable child garment, specifically a diaper or a diaper wrap, can be used by a child from birth until diapers are no longer required. The garment comprises a substantially rectangular panel having a back with back side tabs extending from the top on each side, the back side tabs each having a first hook strip pad on the inside surface, the panel having a front with front side tabs extending from the top on each side, a loop strip ribbon extending across the top on the outside of the front of the panel from one front side tab to the other, the first hook strip pads detachably engageable with the loop strip ribbon. Elastic is sewn along the back of the panel and along each side of the panel between the back side tabs and the front side tabs. The outside of the front of the panel has a second hook strip pad below the loop strip ribbon and at least one loop strip pad, spaced below the second hook strip pad such that the top of the front of the panel can be folded in an S-configuration with the second hook strip pad engageable with the loop stripped to reduce the size of the garment for a smaller child.
