Description

Entirely machine-stitched, with some hand-finishing women's closed drawers made of white plain-weave medium-weight cotton. Knee-length or just above the knee. Attached to the waistband with closes at the side with a white milk-glass button. The legs of drawers are loose-fit, but not quite full. Attached to the waistband with simple gathers, not stoked. The leg bottoms are finished with 9 small tucks, a 1" band of cotton, and trimmed with a narrow 1" ruffle made of finer muslin cotton.
