Summary
A doll's long, cream woollen robe or nightdress. It has short sleeves, fastens at the back neck with cotton tape ties, and has a long tie, sewn into the seam at each side of the waist, made from the same fabric. It is decorated with blue embroidery - feather stitch around the neck edge, hem and sleeve cuffs, smocking near each sleeve cuff and at the centre front on a level with the ties (gathering the front of the robe). There are a few small stains on the robe.
