DescriptionWoman's combination undergarment of white knit cotton. The neckline is scooped, and it is sleeveless. The legs are full, with an inverted V-shaped panel inserted at center front and back. The sides of the legs are slit for about 4 1/2 inches, with rounded edges. The underarms have a U-shaped lining. All seams and edges are serged. The combination was pulled on the body by stepping through the top--there is no other opening. A drawstring at the neckline controls its width.
