G2013.034Description
Entirely hand-stitched small girl’s cape with a hood made of white dimity. The deep tuck narrows down above the narrow hem. Fabric pleated into a neckband, with a shoulder cape edged with lawn frill. Large hood with similar lawn frill, cord drawstrings run through a casing tie at the center front. 2 side back seams have been opened at the top as if to permit drawing the arms through, which would seem to be awkward, and not period. No ties or other closure.Collection
