A rare and delicate antique child's dress (c. 1920s) in fine white cotton with an all-over broderie anglaise eyelet pattern. The V-neckline with a simple button placket, short sleeves, and elasticated waist give this piece a relaxed, unfussy silhouette that is characteristic of 1920s children's fashion — a decade that embraced simpler, more practical clothing for children after the elaborate styles of the Edwardian era.
The interior seam construction and the quality of the fabric are the telltale signs of its age — this is a piece that has been identified through careful examination rather than a label. A genuinely rare survival from the interwar period.
