G2011.024Description
Little boy's nightshirt made of white PW cotton. Hand-stitched except for the armscyes and the bottom hem. Long straight sleeves with simple narrow hems. No gussets, or reinforcements. Flaring body with side seams, vents, and straight hem. Front placket opening with little pleat at the base, faced, as is the neck opening. One buttonhole at the top. It is speculated the maker could have machine-stitched the hems first, installed the flat sleeves, and then finished assembling it at the wearer's side.Collection
