It has a full, gathered skirt. •The sleeves are short and lightly puffed at the shoulder, ending with a small band or cuff. • The neckline is high, featuring a lace collar. The collar is ruffled or gathered, giving it a delicate, textured look around the baby's neck. •The most distinctive feature is the detailed work near the hem. There are horizontal bands of fine pin tucks or stitching running above a wide border. The very bottom hem is finished with intricate cutwork embroidery (broderie anglaise), which creates a lovely scalloped edge with small eyelet holes. The traditional elegance and fine handiwork of this lovely gown would make it a treasured family heirloom. There are a few tiny pulls on the fabric, and the back has a repair around the opening. Still an amazing condition for a vintage piece. Selling as is.
