Drawers
Clothing/Dress/Costume
Drawers made of white cotton. Side closures, each with a white glass button. The buttonholes have been modified for a larger waistline by buttoning a white ribbon and looping it through the hole thereby expanding the waist size. The ankles have nine tucked bands and four small rows of openwork trim.
