Description

This is a long white baby's nightgown. There are two pieces of 1" wide lace that has been sewn along the neckline. There are short arms which are trimmed with the same white lace. There is a portion across the chest which is made of a thinner white material. There is also very thin lace bordering this section. The bottom portion of this nightgown is gathered at the waist and eleven stripes at the bottom. (where the material has been folded and sewn in horizontal strips). There are two white ties knotted at the back to close a 14" opening. The nightgown is damaged a little bit. There are some holes in the fabric and same orange discolouration. The lace trim is also in very bad condition.
