Description

Mostly machine-stitched little boy's frilled shirt with sailor collar made of fine white cotton and machine-embroidered scalloped-edge white cotton fabric. The shirt does not have a waistband - but does have a drawstring waist. The center front button closure has a hidden placket, underneath the center front panel of machine-embroidered white cotton fabric. Large square 'sailor' collar. Trimmed deeply with the same machine-embroidered fabric, along with the cuffs. Sleeves are long and straight, made from one piece, and extended at the wrist - the boy must have grown.
