Brilliant Floral Roller Printed Cotton Child's Dress
Circa 1835

The huge gigot sleeves on this vibrant polychrome roller printed cotton child's dress date it squarely in the romantic era, mid 1830's when sleeves were at their fullest. The bodice features dropped shoulders and a widened decollete that was also in fashion during the romantic period.

The colorful print on a brilliant red background was made possible by rapidly developing printing techniques of the decade. Such a pattern would previously have only been possible in a woven silk. The colors are brilliant and eye catching! Entirely hand sewn.
