Child's dress of violet silk with a threaded écru stripe in the weave, and lined throughout with white cotton twill. The bodice is scoop necked and sleeveless, with the neck and armholes bound with purple silk, and is trimmed with an undulating line of looped violet ribbon and écru yak lace at the front (producing the effect of a yoke) which extends over the shoulders to the waist at the back. The flared skirt is lightly pleated to the waist, which is piped in purple silk, and has a concealed pocket at the right hand side. An apron basque, trimmed with looped violet silk and écru yak lace, falls from the waist at back and front; and the hem is finished with a black velvet binding, and violet silk kilting edged with black velvet ribbon at top and bottom. The garment has a decorative vertical row of seven buttons bound in purple brocade at the front, but fastens at the back of the bodice with a combination of hooks, holes, and stitched loops.
