A white cotton camisole with broderie anglaise at the top of the collar, the ends of the sleeves and along the front. The broiderie anglaise down the front is in four horizontal strips, one going all the way down, the other half the way down. At the edges of each one are pintucks. Some strips have iron mould. The blouse fastens at the front with three fabric covered buttons and with a drawstring at the bottom edge. Under the blouse's right arm is a square shaped darn. The camisole is stained in places and has darning on the back and under an arm. It also has small holes.
