Ivory-coloured silk printed with a repeating design of the head of a child wearing a blue hat and collar (or possibly a close fitting sunbonnet).

The real waist at the centre front and back is marked with small gathers. The dress fastens with buttons at the back, from neck edge to skirt, the yoke is held together with two brass hooks. It is cotton lined throughout. Printed silk, muslin, machine made lace, velvet.
