DescriptionThis hand-sewn white, cotton chemise opens at the bodice. It has a stand-up collar decorated with pink cross-stitched flowers and grey stems. It closes with a single button and crochet loop. The hem area of the long sleeves are also decorated with pink and grey cross-stitched leaves and buds, but seems to be done by a different hand. The skirt hem has a gold/peach embroidery and a crocheted edge in green incorporating evenly spaced gold metal sequins. There is a red plastic button and crochet loop closure at the mid-chest area.
