| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Apron of unlined white cotton with white organza ties. The apron is rhomboid in shape, with a scalloped hem and curving self fabric waistband, and is densely worked with machine made white cutwork embroidery in a floral pattern. The ties are handstitched (the true right one is worked with a motif in shadow-work applique, probably indicating re-use).
