- Description:
- This dress was worn by Thankful Scott Merritt, wife of Benjamin Merritt. She joined the Society of Friends in 1811, later became a preacher, and was the great-grandmother of the donor. The Merritts were New York Quakers: In Troy from 1813 to 1815; New York City from 1815 to 1830; Troy again by 1834; White Creek from 1842 to 1845; and Staten Island by 1848. Mr. Merritt was first a China merchant and afterwards a dry good merchant.The apron-front dress was very popular from 1828 to 1832. This also shows the emergence of the gigot sleeve; the sleeve and short bodice are early 19th century. The inner bodice would have been convenient for nursing and adaptable for pregnancy. The neckline would have been filled with a kerchief, fichu or chemisette.

- Description:
- White cotton dress roll-printed with with tiny red flower sprig pattern. Long bishop-style sleeves gauged at top. High waist with gathered skirt. Piped seams throughout. Appears to have been constructed from another garment: bodice pieced idiosyncratically, print oriented in different directions, and wear patterns inconsistent. Old stitches and folds visible on inside, indicating old tuck or fold had been let out in order to reuse fabric. Wire hooks and eyes on sleeves not hammered flat. Hand-sewn. This is a fashionable girl's dress that mimics a mother's dress style. With its low shoulder, it does not permit much movement. It is also notable for its reuse of an early roller-print fabric from another garment. That the hooks and eyes on the sleeves are not hammered flat is unusual.
