This is a drawing of a light-colored, short-sleeved child's garment. It features finely pleated fabric from the slightly gathered neckline to the flared hem. The sleeves are short and puffed, echoing the pleating found throughout the dress. There is a subtle double line trim pattern along the edges of the garment's opening. The focus on pleating and the soft flow of the fabric suggest a careful craftsmanship in the garment's creation, conveying a sense of historical or traditional children's wear.
