Object/Artifact

Little boy’s dress, entirely hand stitched. Made of brilliant printed with black and red spot pattern. Bodice gathered generously into shallow yoke with wide shallow neckline. Short, straight sleeves trimmed with 2 rows of Ayreshire edging. Short skirt gathered into piped self waistband. 2 pearl buttons on waistband in back, and 2 more on yoke. Skirt length and bodice side seam the same measurements as the other dress, but this one looks smaller!
