This study aims to determine the factors that causes the spread of baby clothes which are not SNI labelled, in the city of Semarang and to find out the extent of the regulation’s implementation. The legal research that the writer use is qualitative research, with the type of juridical empirical research, in this method the primary data was obtained from the Department of Industry and Trade of Central Java Province and the Sekawan Putra Trade Business. Secondary data was obtained from library sources as well as from respondents namely baby clothing sellers and baby clothes consumers. The results of the study (1) internal factors that are not required to apply SNI on the use of baby products of IKM, the number of IKMs that still produce infant clothing that are not SNI labelled yet, the low awareness of consumers that is caused by less intensive socialization from the government, and external factors that come from dependence of business actors with laboratory tests, which makes it difficult for business actors to obtain SNI certificates. (2) No special supervision has been carried out as a follow up to the results of periodic supervision. Conclusions from this study (1) There are still many baby clothes of IKM products that are not SNI labelled yet (2) there is still a mismatch of the Minister of Trade Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 47 / M-DAG / PER / 7/2016 carried out by the Department of Industry and Trade of Central Java Province. Suggestions from this research are for consumers to be more selective in choosing and buying baby clothes, for businesses to comply with SNI regulations for baby clothes, for the government to improve socialization to consumers and fostering business actors and conducting special supervision also increasing the frequency of monitoring.

This article follows a study of a collection of baby clothes assumed to be of late seventeenth-century date to ascertain whether or not that assumption might be correct. The collection is unusual in containing caps, rare in themselves but also decorated with lace frills in the adult frelange style; a rare pair of sleeves with paned oversleeves; and christening and other items for wear by a swaddled infant which are more common in known collections but here, more unusually, trimmed with Flemish bobbin lace. The article discusses the items in terms of their relationships with each other, their construction, their fabrics and how they were worn. Comparisons with similar and related articles in other collections and in seventeenth-century portraits of adults and children enable the author to conclude that the articles probably do date from the late seventeenth century but from slightly different decades.
