Clothing/Dress/Costume

Entirely hand-stitched child’s dress made of cream cotton printed with tiny strawberry-like sprigs in red and black (and faded blue). Set in a waistband. Bodice gathered into a yoke with a wide neckline. Long straight sleeves with tuck around the upper arm. Piped seams. The skirt has two tucks mid-way down. Simple narrow hem. Hooks and eyes on the yoke. Seems to have had casings around the upper and lower edges of the waistband.
