Summary
A white, short-sleeved, cotton worker's smock for an adult, possibly worn in a dairy. The front is slightly gathered on to a V-shaped yoke, at the top of which is a small pointed collar. It was once fastened with buttons at the back as there are three buttonholes (but no buttons). There is a belt loop at each side, and a large patch pocket at the right front. The smock is frayed, and has been torn and mended at the front yoke. It also has several brown stains.
Marks and inscriptions
On the inside of the back edge: 'M. MARSHALL/ 34' The the inside of the yoke: '4/ (underline)/ 23'
