Dans le domaine de l'habillement enfantin, l'arrivée de ce stretch a été une petite révolution. Les mamans émerveillées se sont vite aperçues qu'une fée travaillait pour elles, qui non seulement leur évitait de longues heures d'application, mais arrivait à un résultat pratique incomparable: plus de lainages feutrés, plus de longs séchages et de couleurs vite passées, plus d'usure prématurée; un vêtement miracle: confortable, d'entretien aisé, et qui plus est: grandit avec l'enfant. ("Une layette moderne", Le Livre d'Or de la Bonneterie Auboise, 1970, p. 18). 1, record 4, French, - stretch
