Figure 1.--We believe this white pique dress comes from the 1860s. A dealer tells us, "I was told by a well known fashion historian that this was a little boy's dress from the Civil War. It is made of white pique. The edges of the collar and skirt are scalloped and embroidered with a floral design and raised dots." Click on the image for a close up of the scalloped embroidery.
