About MeThis girl's outfit would have been worn for best. It is based on the ladies fashion for crinolines, but with a shorter skirt for practicality, which meant long pantalettes were worn for modesty. Whitework embroidery was used extensively to embellish children's clothes during the 19th century and this is a particularly fine example of hand-sewn eyelet work.
