Slit pockets near top with V shaped openings edged with black silk band and 2 rows of short black silk fringe. More fringe along bottom edge. Beautifully embroidered with roses and buds in silk satin stitch. Unlined. Hemmed edges. A line of threads suggests there was a row of fringe once above the hem. More threads remaining on underside suggest this was recycled from something else.Collection
