Pale mint-green lace-trimmed camisoleEntry/Object ID
2025.1.377Description
Woman's sleeveless camisole (lingerie top) in fine semi-sheer pale blue fabric with ecru/cream lace trim. The scoop front and back necklines and the thin shoulder straps are edged in a delicate picot/beaded lace; a vertical ecru lace insert panel runs down the center front below the neckline, flanked by lace insertion strips. The bust is shaped with darts/seaming; the hip-length hem is finished with a wide band of ecru floral lace above a narrow lace insertion (both front and back). The back is plainer, showing the bust and waist seaming and the matching hem lace. The fabric is stained/discolored in places (brown spotting/foxing) with light wear; the lace is largely intact. No brand label or mark is visible in either view.Use
