title: Greenwood Infant Dress

subject: Dresses

description: Colored photographs of an open backed infant gown made of dark brown muslin with a floral print. It is possibly hand-painted? All the stitching is hand worked and very fine. It has a square neckline with cap sleeves and string closures at the top and bottom of the bodice. An attached note reads, "Infant dress or slip. 1796 Alice T. Greenwood Worcester, Mass." Alice was not born until 1860, and she never married, so the note probably does not indicate she was the creator. It is more likely something she labeled that belonged to her family.
