Girl's Dress
1876-78
An outfit to celebrate a baby's--and the nation's--birthday
In 1876, a traveling grain salesman from Clear Lakes, Iowa named Henry Clay Fletcher purchased the fabric that was made into this dress for his newborn daughter, Nellie. The brown-and-white printed cotton features a print design of American flags and stars commemorating the nation's centennial year.
