Object/Artifact
All medium fine linen, somewhat narrow body, flared, but with no gores. Hand stitched with cotton thread; wide scoop neck; gussets. Little gathers at sleeve top; 43” total length. “AC Smith 2” inked center front. Also a previous inking bled through to this piece, indicating they were inked in a series before assembly. Very neat and competent but not exquisite work. Date based on the use of ink for the identification mark.
