Summary
A woman's blouse made from white cotton lawn. The sleeveless, square-necked blouse is simply decorated around the neckline, bib and on the sleeveheads with a combination of broderie anglaise, faggotting stitich and whitework embroidery and is otherwise undecorated. Internally, the blouse is unlined and there are no fastenings as the blouse was designed to simply pull over the head.
