Description |
A pair of machine stitched ladies bloomers made out of black wool serge. They were probably part of a gym suit or cycling ensemble. The bloomers are box pleated and cinched at the hem of the leg openings, which creates a wide and full leg. There is a side seam slit pocket on the proper right side. There are two buttons on the proper left side of the waistband allowing some adjustability. The waistband is lined in black cotton sateen but the rest of the bloomers are left unlined. |
