Child's Knitted Stays

Date

1830-1840

Description

Gift of Mrs. Henry E. Johnson
White cotton stays for a very young child, knitted in three pieces and sewn together at diagonal side seams. Breast gussets--as if made as a miniature versoin of an adult pair of stays--set into front as increases knitted in moss stitch. Small knitted straps are attached at back and front shoulders. The back closed with buttons (now removed) attached to five small tabs of twill weave tape sewn to proper left, with matching worked buttonholes in back of proper right.
