Clothing/Dress/Costume

Women's drawers made of crude cotton. Knee-length. Gathered into a waistband which was ‘ended out’ with a piece of a table runner or the like with a hem-stitched border. A single bone button. The sides have been shaped with long darts reaching nearly to the waist. Neatly done but the stitches gallop, crochet edging at hems.
