Object/Artifact
Canezou, entirely hand stitched sheer white muslin with tamboured (machine embroidered?) sprigs, with bands of bobbin lace across the front and back of each shoulder, joined by a narrow band of ruched main fabric. Plain sheer muslin frills to lie over the dress sleeves, that somewhat resemble bretelles. Narrow tape tie extends through casing at back waist where the bodice is tightly gathered, across the side and into the front waist casing, where it ties. Neck is high, round and piped. No front fasteners.
