Antique White Cotton Chemise with Shell Buttons and Crochet Lace TrimLate Victorian, early Edwardian antique chemise edged with hand crochet lace around the neckline, armholes and shoulders. This crisp white cotton slip would have originally been worn underneath a corset to soften its affect on the skin. Closes with two mismatched shell buttons to each shoulder. The back panel has gathers into the back neck and there are godets (triangular inserts) to each side seam. Machine stitched with French seams. See condition
