Entirely hand-stitched dress made of printed delaine. The print consists of rose vines and brown stripes. The skirt is unlined. 3 tiers of bias flounce above the hem. Plain-boned bodice, rather large round neckline. Concealed hook closure, no buttons. Bell sleeves with tiered effect at the bottom; faced with ordinary brown lining cambric. Flounces finished with self-bias binding. Rather long-waisted.
