DescriptionHand sewn, white cotton, A-line chemise with long sleeves and a stand-up collar. The front opening and collar are of a red and black cotton geometric print. The hem and lower sleeve are finely embroidered in two shades of red with black. This creates a symmetrical, stylized floral design on the hem area that is enhanced with a gold metallic design of couched gold braid. On the sleeves the design is geometric. The interior hem in front and back is stabilized with a wool felt band.
