About this work

The dress is made of cotton with a glazed finish produced in Europe. This kind of European fabric, which was often printed, was a less expensive alternative to chintz, a handpainted or stained calico cloth imported from India. The dress on view is adorned with panels of the same fabric with pleats folded into a hexagonal pattern.
