Beautiful colouring and design. Clearly hardly worn because the glaze is still visible.
the printed cotton designed with the same flower, in bud and in flower, in shades of pink, rich brown, soft orange and yellow, green and blue on a maroon/dark brown ground, glazed, the bodice with deep neck with linen ties for gathering, a horizontal seam above the bust, gathered waist, again with ties, shaped long sleeves with three covered buttons at the wrist, the back with back shoulder and high waist to lower shoulder seaming, the skirt with pleats and concentrated pleating centre back, lined with linen with seperate closure with hooks and eyes, underarm approx 31 in or 80 cm; centre back length 15 in or 38 cm.
Excellent. The linen lining is slightly marked underarm but it has not come through to the printed fabric.
