    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[White cotton dress with wide, collar-less neck and slightly belled sleeves. Bodice and skirt gathered; tight gauging along center-front and center-back waist. Empty whalebone casing at center-front. Self-fabric piping at neck, waist and sleeves. White embroidery at hem; hem and cuffs finished with irregular scalloping and crochet trim. Two tucks on skirt. Bodice lined with plain-weave cotton; sleeves and skirt unlined. Bodice open at center-back; hammered-wire hook and eye closures. Hand-sewn. This young girl&#039;s dress was for parties and other special occasions, and was probably worn during the summer. The styling mimics adult women&#039;s fashions of the time. The sewing and gauging is exquisite.]]></dcterms:description>
