About this work

Children's dress of white cotton piqué, trimmed with a passementerie insert and an open scalloped edge. The conical model is cut in one piece. Button closure at the front, from top to bottom. Very short smooth sleeve. Boat-shaped neck (boat neck?). The cut of the side seams is arched. Two of the four back panels end in a pointed yoke, from which the skirt with four deep pleats flares out. On either side of the closure and running along the hem an entre-deux is applied with passementerie and an open embroidered scalloped edge. Likewise along the side seams. At the neck and sleeves only the scalloped lace, the apron is decorated with scalloped lace and three passementeries.
