About MePaisley pattern printed cotton dress dating from the early 1890s. The skirt has both a watch pocket at the waist and a larger pocket with frilled edging on the right hand side. This may have been worn by a working woman, such as someone in service, as the dark colours make it an unlikely summer cotton dress.
