Christening ensemble

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Christening ensemble by an unknown artist is a pale yellow, short-sleeved dress with a square neckline and a fitted bodice. The dress features intricate lace overlay throughout, with a gathered waistline. Short sleeves have gathered fabric at the top. A double-layered lace ruffle runs along the bottom hem. The dress appears to be made of lace with a smooth lining underneath. It is displayed against a plain off-white background.
