The dress is made of fine white checked muslin. The fitted bodice has a wide open neckline, short sleeves, and decorative ruching across the bust. The skirt is very full and is gathered into the waistline with tight cartridge pleats.
The dress is in good condition for its age; there are some small holes/tears and faint stains. Generally, the dress is strong and clean.

A truly beautiful example of 1840s simplicity.
