Drawers
Clothing/Dress/Costume
Entirely machine-stitched women's drawers made of medium-weight cotton. Drawers open at the sides and closure with glass buttons. Three rows of small tucks at the below-knee opening. In between each row of tucks are strips of machine-embroidered panels. The panels are designed with Ivy and leafy vines with small eyelets speculated to resemble grapes. Scalloped edge of the bottom, machined finished edge. Cotton sateen waistband. Cotton body fabric is gathered to fit the waistband with gathering on both halves, all the way across.
