1920s Girl's Dress - Size 8 Child's Sheer White Cotton & Yellow Smocking with Daisy Embroidery - Authentic 20s 30s Girls Frock - Chest 32

This authentic 1920s girl's dress is sweetly embroidered in spring daisies to the pretty collar and half-belt, with smocking to the chest and puff sleeves. It has a drop-waist popular in the flapper era, with petite buttons joining the belt to the dress and closing the back. A bit shabby and very endearing.

Condition Detail
Wearable though it shows its age a bit, there's a 1/4-inch abraded hole at lower left waist above the belt and a narrow pull in the sheer cotton nearby, approx 7 similarly sized holes in random places to the skirt, two very scant beige blushes of color (one on the belt, about 5-7 near the hem), a tiny pull high at the neck between the lapels, overall a bit shabby and very picturesque
