Summary
A woman's pair of camiknickers (camisole and drawers combined into one garment), made from pale yellow silk. The camiknickers are decorated with a slim band of contrasting darker yellow silk ribbon around the neckline and legholes and a further slim band of faggotting stitch on the shoulder straps and are otherwise undecorated. Internally, the camiknickers are unlined and have three metal snap fasteners on the gusset only, as they were designed to be stepped in to and pulled up from the waist.
Provenance
Gift of Mrs Adams.
