NU 2024.159Description
A short-sleeved, cream-colored shirtwaist. The edges of the sleeves, as well as the neckline, is scalloped and embroidered. There is also decorative embroidery down the front of the shirt that extends up to the shoulders. There are decorative vertical holes around the chest of the shirt, and there are two strips of fabric sewn into the inside of the shirt, that presumably threads through those holes for further decoration. The shirtwaist has a quarter opening in the back, and closes with two white buttons.Collection
