| Description |
The front and back of this pocket are each made of one piece of ribbed cotton dimity with a small extra piece inserted on the lower left side to make up the necessary width. The upper edge of the horizontal crescent-shaped opening is stitched to the back of the pocket. The same cloth has been used to form a top band and attached to two lengths of cotton tape. There are two vertical buttonholes on the back top, indicating an alternative means of attachment, probably to buttons on another undergarment such as a corset. |
