Summary
A long, white, linen petticoat for a doll, which has a long, full skirt gathered at the waist on to a sleeveless bodice. The skirt has several narrow pintucks close to, and parallel with, the hem. The bodice has narrow lace at the neck and armholes, and drawstring ties (made from very narrow tape) through the neck and waist. There is also a small white (possibly mother-of-pearl) button halfway down the centre back edge with a corresponding buttonhole opposite. There are a few small brown stains.
