1920s Organdy Gatsby Toddler Dress 2T

This rare and beautifully preserved 1920s toddler girl’s dress is entirely hand-sewn and features delicate handmade linen needle lace trim. Made from sheer white cotton organdy, the dress has a soft, crisp texture that holds its shape beautifully. It features a classic drop-waist design with a two-layer ruffled skirt, reflecting the playful yet elegant silhouette popular for children's wear during the early 20th century.

Every detail of this piece speaks to the craftsmanship of the era. The seams and buttonholes are all hand-stitched, with no machine work present. At the back neckline, four recessed-eye mother-of-pearl buttons provide closure, adding a subtle iridescent touch. The lace trim is linen and handmade, offering a fine example of needlework that was reserved for special garments made for birthdays, portraits, or other important family occasions.

Modern size equivalent 2T (generally fits children around 1.5 to 2 years old, with a chest measurement of about 22–23 inches. Leave room for comfort and consider children grow quickly in considering size)

Shoulder to shoulder/across back: 11 1/2" 
Bust/Chest: 24"
Length: 20 1/2"

The dress measures 24 inches in total chest circumference and 20.5 inches in length from shoulder to hem. It is in excellent antique condition, with only a few tiny stains that do not detract from its overall beauty. There are two faint rows of needle holes at the true waist, likely indicating that a ribbon or sash was once attached. This heirloom-quality piece would make a beautiful addition to any vintage clothing collection and is well-suited for display, preservation, or gentle reuse in historical styling or photography.
