Found this picture in my stash on a {really old} calendar of historic fashions. The caption says: "Boy's dress, 1868, USA, worn by Thomas J. Heck of Urbana, Ohio. Brown wool with wide neck, short sleeves, front and back tucks, and faux front button closure, trimmed with black velvet ribbon and glass buttons." There was a photo of Thomas Heck in 1868 wearing it (at 2 years old), but I didn't get that scanned. :(
I liked the geometric nature of it.

Really neat. The museum I work for has a couple of similar dresses.
Beautiful! I love the colors and the style.
I love those geometric designs too. I can't imagine how time consuming that trim must have been though!
Really nice. I love the detail.
