G2000.114Description
Girl’s dress apron made of thin, bright yellow silk taffeta. Gathered into a waistband made from a strip of the same silk folded in half lengthwise, extended out as long ties. One tie has an applied self bow in center back which apparently concealed a large metal hook corresponding to an eye still attached to the opposite tie. The skirt is rather short with scalloped edges conforming to the shapes of leaves and berries embroidered along the edges using now-ivory colored silk floss.Collection
