Fabric comparison
A muslin cotton playsuit and a muslin cotton set both start from the exact same fabric: Epic's double-layer, pre-washed muslin cotton, sewn with flat seams and finished with child-safe dyes. What changes between them is how the garment is built, one continuous piece instead of two separate pieces. Picking between them mostly comes down to how you like to dress your baby and how often you're changing diapers during the day.

| Muslin Cotton Playsuit | Muslin Cotton Set | |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric & construction | Cut from the same double-layer, pre-washed muslin cotton as the rest of the range, sewn in one piece with flat seams. | Cut from the identical double-layer muslin cotton, sewn as two pieces, a top and a bottom, with the same flat seams. |
| Breathability | The open weave runs the length of the garment, so air moves freely from the shoulders down to the legs. | The open weave is the same in both pieces, and the gap where the top meets the bottom adds another spot for air to pass through. |
| Ease of diaper changes | Most playsuits open along the legs or down the front with snaps, so a full change means undoing a good part of the garment. | The bottom piece comes off on its own, so a quick change doesn't require touching the top at all. |
| Weight & feel | One piece, one closure, and nothing to match up, which makes it simple to get on and off in a single motion. | Two lighter pieces that are easy to wash and pack separately, with a bit more fabric layered at the waist where they meet. |
| Softness & durability | Epic's muslin arrives pre-washed and soft, and softens further with every wash, same as any other piece in the range. | The fabric softens the same way. Because the pieces are separate, one can wear out before the other, usually the bottom. |
| Best for | Parents who want one simple piece to dress a baby in, for sleep or for a full day out. | Parents who like to mix pieces, drop a layer when it's warm, or want faster access for frequent changes. |
Choose Muslin Cotton Playsuit if you want one simple piece to dress your baby in and don't mind opening the whole garment for a change.
Choose Muslin Cotton Set if you want to mix and match pieces or need quicker access to the bottom for diaper changes.
