This exquisite baptismal dress, designed by Evelyn Bailey in 1936, is a beautiful example of American art and cultural heritage from the 20th century. The intricately embroidered floral pattern, rendered in pen and ink on paper, showcases Bailey's exceptional skill as a designer and artisan. The dress, which dates back to the 1930s, was created for the baptism of an infant in the United States during a time when religious and cultural traditions held significant importance in American society. The dress, which features a floral design in vibrant colors, is a testament to the richness and diversity of American art and fashion during this period. Bailey's use of needlework and embroidery techniques adds an element of elegance and sophistication to the piece, making it a cherished artifact and a valuable addition to any art or history collection. The baptismal dress is a concept that has been passed down through generations, symbolizing the beginning of a new life and the promise of a bright future. This particular dress, with its beautiful design and historical significance, is a reminder of the enduring traditions and values that have shaped American culture and identity. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is proud to house this important piece in its collection, which is part of the Index of American Design.
