Description: | This item was designed to fill a deep square neckline underneath a woman's outer layer of clothing. It is made of net and the neck has been edged with Bedford lace and attached to the eyelet tape for threading ribbon through. Five vertical lines of tape extend down from the neck at the front and stop at a horizontal line of tape. These eyelet tapes would have originally all been threaded with ribbon. This item is fastened at the back with tiny linen buttons.
