Dress
Object/Artifact
Infant’s long dress or cooler, entirely hand stitched, made of cotton with a red/black, tan cylinder printed floret design. Medium low straight neckline with the un-waisted body gauffered onto the piped edge. Wide, long tubular raglan sleeves finished with self-frill made of folded strip formed into little box pleats; sleeves are lined with a different faded print cotton. Back neckline has a casing and blue-ribbon drawstring, although the thick gathers would not draw up much tighter with grace. No hem tucks.
