A child's dress made of white cotton. The dress has a high waist with a gathered bodice, originally constructed to adjust at the back with a drawstring at the neck and another at the waist. The closures appear to have been updated at a later date with a mother of pearl button at the neck and a brass hook eye at the waist.
