This young girl’s dress follows the cut of those of women at the time, in their simplest forms, having a loose, unshaped bodice and a short, straight gathered skirt. It is made of a fairly coarse cotton printed with a cheerful design of cherries and blossom suitable for both children and adults, and easily laundered. The front and back are almost identical in form, except for a back fastening with three mother of pearl buttons. Although an unsophisticated garment, it has been competently made, with carefully applied bias binding and hand sewn buttonholes.
