Summary
A dolls dress made from printed nylon. The bodice and most of the skirt are made of red printed fabric with white spots within circles. Inset in the front of the skirt (to resemble an apron) is a piece of white nylon which has a piece of red, white and dark blue woven nylon ribbon sewn across it horizontally. The short puffed sleeves and stand-up collar are also made of white nylon. There is red and white picot-edged braid at the hem and sleeve cuffs, which also have narrow elastic sewn inside them. The dress fastens at the back neck and waist with small rectangles of velcro.
