Summary
A woman's pair of bifurcated camiknickers (camisole and drawers combined into one garment), made from white cotton lawn. The camiknickers are decorated with a combination of broderie anglaise, crochet lace and filet lace around the capped sleeve, neckline, bib and leg and are otherwise undecorated. Internally, the camiknickers are unlined and have no fastenings, as they were deisgned to be stepped in to and pulled up from the waist.
