Chemisette

Clothing/Dress/Costume

Fine cotton, Ayreshire-like work forming vaguely thistle-like motif with drawn work center; sprays of asparagus fern-like leaves and lily-of-valley-like buds. Blanket stitched scalloped edges. Fagotting. Triangular with scooped neck. Seems hurried- leaves are mostly skeletal except for some plumper ones.
