Pinafore

Clothing/Dress/Costume

Entirely hand-stitched child’s pinafore made of printed cotton. The design consists of an orange background with colored triplet dots motif. Wide, shallow piped neckline. Waistless except for gathering at the hip level on sides and back. Very short frilled sleeves. Piping in armscyes and hip seam. This is distinctive because it 'zigzags' around the body. The center back closes with 5 red Calico buttons.
