DescriptionGirl's camisole of white cotton. The low, rounded neckline and armholes are bound with white bias tape. The center back opening fastens with five bone buttons, which are attached with white tapes so that they sit about 3/8-inch off of the fabric. The center front and back are gathered into the neckline and into the flat waistband. Two strips of bias tape encircle the waist. Bone buttons in vertical pairs are set at center front and on the sides. Tan glass buttons are stitched along the bound bottom edge and at the waist, between the bone buttons. Bias tape is stitched from the waistline over the shoulders, and down to the opposite waistline on each side. The lower bone buttons on the sides are stitched above a loop of 1 1/4-inch-wide tape with two small metal grommets.
