Description |
Women's summer bodice. Bands of pink flowers on cotton cloth, alternates with bands of lace netting. Lacey trim around sleeves. Tapers to waist. Button at back and metal hook and eye closure at bottom back. Skirt is also detached and has a layer of thin cotton underneath as a slip. Unsure how skirt was worn because the waist seems unfinished, drawstring perhaps? |
