Chemise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White short-sleeved chemise with a square neckline and decorative lace trim on top, artist unknown. The chemise is made of white fabric, possibly cotton or linen, and features a square neckline with a decorative lace trim along the top edge. The lace trim forms a triangular shape that points downwards. The short sleeves have a ruffled edge. The fabric appears to be a plain weave and has a smooth texture. The chemise is knee-length and has a relaxed fit. It is displayed on a dress form. The background is a plain light gray color.
