Summary
A woman's petticoat made from white cotton lawn. The knee-length petticoat is decorated from hip to hem with bands of pintucking and machine-made crochet style lace and is otherwise undecorated. Internally, the petticoat is unlined and fastens with a gathering cord at the waist. This was probably originally made from cotton tape but has been replaced historically with a length of yellow coloured rayon ribbon.
Provenance
Gift of Miss Isobel Crocket
