An embroidered cotton garment depicts a long, off-white infant dress. Short, puffed sleeves and a square neckline sit atop a wide skirt gathered at the high waist. A central vertical panel showcases horizontal textured bands and delicate ruffles. Matching floral embroidery and a wide ruffle decorate the bottom hem. The filmy, translucent fabric creates many fine folds, giving the dress a light, ethereal presence against the dark background.
