Child or toddler's petticoat with attached bodice made of cotton. Machined seams are felled at the sides. Neck and arm openings are bound with cotton bias and machine down. Three MOP buttons in the back. Buttonholes are hand-bound. Three small tucks in the back which are uneven in parts, because of this it is speculated to be homemade.
