Muslin Cotton Romper

Baby clothes for Bali: the muslin cotton romper

If you're shopping for baby clothes in Bali, start here: a double-layer muslin cotton romper with snaps for fast changes, in sizes from newborn to around 12 months.

We're Vanessa and Bob. This is the first piece we sourced for the range, because it's what we wanted for our own daughter in this climate and couldn't find. In 2026 it's still the one we hand to friends with a new baby.

Why it works for babies here:

• Built for the humidity. Bali sits around 28°C year-round with humidity that rarely drops below 75%. The open double-layer weave keeps air moving across the skin instead of trapping it, so your baby stays cool and dry rather than sticky.
• Snaps at the crotch and shoulder. Nappy changes on a beach bench or in the back of the car take seconds, and the shoulder opening means nothing drags over a sleepy head.
• Newborn through the first year. Sizes run 52, 59, 66 and 73, roughly newborn up to 9-12 months. In this heat, size up: a looser layer breathes better and lasts you longer.
• Four colours that hide a real day. Navy, green, brown and cream, so mango or sunscreen doesn't end the outfit at 10am.
• Pre-washed, so it arrives soft. Flat seams, no ridges pressing lines into sleeping skin, and it softens with every wash. Thin muslin also dries fast, which counts in wet season when nothing else in the house does.

Wear it on its own on a hot day, or add the Muslin Cotton Hat for sun cover. For more Bali baby clothes in the same fabric, see the Bali collection or newborn essentials. Designed in Bali, ships worldwide, 30-day returns if the size isn't right.
