Description |
This handstitched pink silk child's dress is thought to be Marjorie's based on what appears to be a date stitched on the interior of the bodice, which reads: "23 7 89." The high waisted bodice has a center back opening with nine threads and metal hook closures; two metal hooks are missing. There is a 1 1/2" stand up collar trimmed with 1/2" lace; there are two metal hooks at the neck. Under the stand up collar is 1 1/2" of smocking or shirring. The bodice and sleeves are lined with cotton fabric. Sleeves are slightly puffed with ruffles at the edge of the sleeve and 1/2" lace under the ruffle. Close gathers on the bodice and skirt are very finely sewn. At the edge of the bodice is a piped seam. |
