This outfit expands in size using clever engineering so that it
grows with you over the years. Stretch fabrics, accordion
designs, expanding overlapping seams etc might be employed.
Obviously this wouldn't be your only outfit, it would just be
for the odd occasion when you want to wear the same
outfit
you wore on the day you were born for some reason.
Comforting maybe? This outfit would be repaired as necessary
and would probably be some sort of sleeping gear, perhaps of
a ceremonial nature for some stupid cult.
People could say stupid things about how the outfit had some
kind of meaning due to the fact that it grows through time and
gets increasingly gross, just like we do as humans. Or it could
have some positive meaning. Whatever.
Eventually you and the outfit get thrown out together
because that's the way it goes.

Of course it would be styled to look like Mormon
underwear. |

People could tell the year you were born by the style
of your long johns. |

Baked in North Korea, where every garment is made from
the one type of shiny fabric called Vinalon, and everything
is the same few colours and styles. ISIS have a similar ultra
extreme ethos to that of the North Koreans, so they would
probably like this idea too. |

They have one ceremonial, occasionally worn outfit
that fits you as a
baby and
expands until you're a full grown adult? |
|
|
Clearly you don't understand the idea, not that it's a
particularly great one, but the idea isn't: "Have one
kind of cloth that a culture makes all their clothes
from." |
|
|
Not sure how anybody would get that from what I
posted. |

This is Baked. In your 19th century, some regions experienced a terrifying level of infant mortality. 80% of live births failed to reach their first birthday. So they didn't have time to grow out of their "baby clothes". |
|
|
There was even a fashion for posed family photographs, where the deceased infant was included, as if still alive. |

I saw this invention at MAD magazine once! |

also, noting there are kevlar socks, a microcoiled kevler could possibly, spandex-like stretch with growth. |

Really? Cool! I could see them doing that. Don't suppose
there's a link to it eh? I'd love to think I'm wired the same
way the Mad writers are. |

As far as the postmortem family portraits, god that was
disgusting. Some family, someplace, some time when
posed
with the opportunity to continue this morbid fad said "Oh
hell no!", prompting the decline and fall of this gross
ritual. Kudos to them.
Ugh. |
|
|
I know this isn't what you mean [doctorremulac3], but I am
plagued with visions of stinky, filthy clothes which stand up
on their own post mortem. |

Clear your mind of stress good citizen, this outfit would be
cleaned after every use and only worn on special occasions
like, say.... oh.. the person's birthday. |
|
|
My birthday suit has lasted me for years, but now seems to
be in need of a good ironing. |
