Lal's Outfit
A small, child‑sized garment worn by the newly assembled Lal at her first unveiling in the lab. The outfit reads as simple and unadorned—soft, closely fitted fabric that covers torso and limbs—serving as a practical covering the replicated child steps into while Data helps her from the biobed and Troi responds.

Purpose
To clothe the replicated child for modesty and immediate wear upon assembly, providing a human appearance and practical covering during Lal's first exposure outside the biobed.
Significance
Functions as a visual cue that reframes the experiment as a human child: the outfit humanizes Lal, prompts Troi's recognition of 'it's a girl', and helps shift the scene from technical demonstration to a moral and emotional dispute over Lal's status and parenthood.
