Summary
A baby's cream flannel barracoat. The garment has a bodice with straps to go over the shoulders and is embroidered with feather stitch. The left side seam of the bodice has a slit to take an extension from the back which carries tapes that can be tied at the front. The skirt is cut in three pieces and slightly gathered into the bodice. The garment is open at the back, the parts overlap and are secured by tapes. All the free edges of the garment are bound with tape. It is a very well made garment with unfortunately two small holes.
