Child's Flag Dress circa WW2

This child's dress is made in muslim and represents the Australian Ensign flag. It is made from muslin and the federation stars have been cut from paper. It's very old and I'd say would fit a four year old child.
I think this child's dress was worn to greet arriving soldiers in WW2.
I bought it in a second hand junk shop and wanted to preserve it. It came mounted in a frame.
