DescriptionChild's drawers of whitework cotton, with widely splayed legs, edged with machine-made tape lace. The legs are slightly gathered into the waistband, which has six buttonholes for attaching the drawers to the shirt. The sides are open for about five inches. Both legs are pieced, so these were probably made from a larger garment.
