The lace-edged collar, the gathered puff sleeves and the button placket down the front all read consistently mid-century, a construction language shared with labelled department-store dresses of the 1950s and 60s, though here the maker chose to leave no name behind. The colour alone marks her out: pale yellow rarely survives in infant wear from this period, most of what remains leans toward pink or white, so this one is the rarer find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hem finishes in a soft scallop rather than a straight turn, echoed in the collar's crocheted lace edge, a small detail that ties the two together. Sleeves gather into a soft puff at the shoulder and close with a narrow 7cm cuff, and the back placket carries two small buttons, hand-sewn through worked buttonholes. The embroidered sprig sits just off centre on the bodice, a quiet, considered placement rather than a mirrored pair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44175401287814,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3597.jpg?v=1784612261","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/wattle-weather-1950s-60s-hand-embroidered-cotton-toddler-dress","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
