About MeTraditional style with triangular yoke which features a variety of whitework stitches, repeated in main panel at hem; robings down the length of the skirt are edged with buttonhole stitch and eyelet work.
Like most robes this could be worn by either a boy or a girl; when worn by a male baby the apex of the triangular bodice is worn out (as displayed); when worn by a female it is worn tucked inside.
