Drawers
Clothing/Dress/Costume
Open drawers made of white cotton. A single white glass button as the closure. The buttonhole has been modified for a larger waistline by tying a cord through the hole, with a loop at one end to fit over the button, thereby expanding the waist size. The ankles have a band of openwork, a cotton ruffle, and MOP button closures.
