1910-1920 Camisole

Notes:

This c1910-1920 camisole is in excellent condition. The condition is so good in fact that I was skeptical at first whether or not it was actually a period piece. While I can't be one hundred percent sure, there is really no reason to believe otherwise.

The camisole is made of cotton eyelet, another cotton lace and linen. The entire garment is machine sewn, except for the hand stitched initials at the back right-hand side. All of the ¼" seams are finished either with top stitching or flat felled seams.

The garment fastens in the back with four ½" buttons. The top three buttonholes are covered. The buttons appear to be fabric covered metal.

The camisole fits a 33" bust and 26" waist.
