Child's Dress, 1810-1825
Add to SetSummary
This child's dress reflects women's fashions of the 1810s. The pastel silk crepe--lightweight and fluid--was popular for best dresses. This dress was probably worn with pantalettes by a little girl--although a boy could have worn it as well since infants and toddlers of both genders wore dresses at this time. The tucks could be let down as the child grew.
