The gown is in pristine condition with a tape neck, lace bodice and hem, with french seams. This is an early example of machined domestic clothing. Not many garments at this time were made by machines. Most baby garments were hand-made. The gown was worn by both boys and girls up to the age of about three. This gown was so designed to alter to fit a newborn to a older child.
