The drawers fasten at center back with a single mother of pearl button on the waistband. The legs are decorated with four narrow tucks and one wider tuck. An additional one-inch-wide tuck is coarsely stitched above the original tucks. Eyelet embroidery of a leaf and floral frond motif edges the leg openings.
