The set consists of knickers, which have an elasticated waist, and a simple slip.

Condition
Good and wearable but with some points to note;
- the elastic in the knickers has been replaced with modern elastic
- there is some iron shine over much of the piece, especially on the front bodice - see photos
- 2 small 3mm areas of thinning in the knickers
- 4 small pinhead holes in the slip - I considered darning the holes but the darns would show more than the holes
