Entirely hand-stitched child’s dress made of brown cotton voile with small white resist or discharge bud and twig pattern. Short wide sleeves trimmed with self-frills. Short, full skirt gathered into the piped waist seam. Gathers on the base of the center front bodice which has a fairly wide scoop neckline. Back opening. Seems to be for a boy because of the very short skirt.
