Dress is made from white cotton floral printed dimity. The dress has a yoke at the front and back, into which the body of the dress is gathered. A simple curved fold-over collar is white cotton plain weave, and is embroidered with yellow, blue, pink, and purple flowers with green stems and brown centers. The collar is edged in cotton lace which has been hand-stitched in place with a decorative stitch. A decorative cuff at the end of each short, slightly puffed sleeve matches the collar, also having lace and embroidery. Dress opens with three silver color metal snaps at the center back neck.
