Description: | Thick white cotton twill dress with fawn broad and narrow stripes, bought as mattress ticking.
Top : Simple T shaped construction. Short slits at sides. Stripes run horizontally. Short sleeves. Boat neck. Piped self fabric tie belt.
Camisole : CF fastening with four brown buttons and one press-stud. Broad self fabric shoulder straps in double thickness bound with brown bias and trimmed at outer edge with broderie anglaise braid.
Skirt : Flared. Zip at left side. Two white hanging loops at waistband. Hook and bar waistband fastener.
Made by donor to wear as a guest at a wedding when she was a witness. Material purchased at Leek Market. Skirt and top worn with a straw boater. Outfit not extensively worn after this because the long flared skirt was on the way out, and the T shaped top was only in fashion that year.
Material: cotton
