Summary
A woman's camisole in cream brocaded artificial silk. The camisole is decorated across the main ground with brocading in a small floral motif, with a border of machine made floral cotton lace across the neckline front and back and three lines of faggotting across the bodice centre front. Internally, the camisole is unlined and there are no fastenings as it is designed to be pulled over the head.
