Pink hand knitted baby gown with button and white ribbon belt. The gown has purl stitches at the top, with a crochet band in the middle and knitted stitches below the ribbon belt. There are three silver colored buttons located at the back of the dress. The bottom hem of the dress is folded outward to show the purl stitching. The ribbon belt is tied in a bow in the front, and weaves through the crochet part of the dress. This is a part of a corresponding outfit (2005.5.10)
