Antique Baby Chemise - Fine Cotton White Toddler's Slip with Greek Key Lace - Size 2T 18-24 Months - Girls Summer 1910s 1920s Under Dress

A simplistic antique baby slip with charming detail! This 1910s/early 20s chemise has unusual piecing with buttoned shoulders and a fine Greek Key pattern at the flounced hem. It's a sweet A-line flare, originally made as a slip to be worn under a little girl's dress, and quite wearable as a sun dress today.
