Shirt

Clothing/Dress/Costume

Entirely hand-stitched infant shirt made of fine linen. Shallow yoke. The body is slightly gathered towards the yoke. Side seams. Short, split sleeves cut in one with the body. Slight fullness on the top of the sleeve is done in the same way as the yoke by slitting fabric and attaching the sleeve to the upper part. Neck and sleeve edges are finished with tiny buttonhole-stitched scallops. Two tiny Dorset buttons and loops in the front yoke.
