Dress

1905

Not on view

Capturing the essence of childhood innocence, this delicate girl's dress is made from very fine cotton creating a beautiful drape and sense of movement. The construction is particularly graceful from the top of the bodice to the flounce at the bottom, and the sleeves are very fashionable for the period.
