Garment having sleeves

Abstract

An article of clothing includes long sleeves, for dressing the upper body of a baby or child. The article of clothing includes at least a front and back portion, shoulder portions connected to the front and back portions, and sleeves connected to the shoulder portions. Each of the sleeves includes a zipper portion extending along the sleeve and terminating at a distal end of the sleeve. The sleeve can be opened along the entire length of the zipper portion all the way to the shoulder portion, so that a person's arm can be maneuvered past the shoulder portion and into the sleeve portion with ease and facility. When the child's or baby's arm is completely inserted through the shoulder portion, the zipper member can be operated so that the sleeve is closed, thereby securing the baby's or child's arm in the sleeve.
