Clothing/Dress/Costume

Young girls' cotton printed dress, in a deep maroon with tiny white polka dots. Machine-stitched with some hand finishing. High round neckline with stand collar. CB closure of buttons, 7 MOP buttons all the way down. Skirt is set low on hip with gathers - not stoked or stroked. CF panel flat, from neckline to skirt hem. Collar stand, wrist cuffs, and CF panel all feature an applied machined ribbon of white ground and red figures. It looks as though the skirt was removed, then basted back on without much skill. Long sleeves are full at sleeve cap and wrist.
