An exceptionally preserved pair of early 20th-century cotton drawers featuring a fitted waistband, fabric-covered button closure, finely pleated fullness, and delicate lace-trimmed hems. The dramatically voluminous silhouette reflects the construction of women’s undergarments of the Edwardian period, designed to be worn beneath the skirts and dresses of the era.
More than a century later, the exaggerated proportions feel remarkably modern and allow the piece to be worn as statement shorts or preserved as an example of Edwardian dress. Beautifully constructed in sturdy cotton with a crisp texture and slub weave throughout.
A closely comparable pair of cotton drawers dated c. 1915 is held in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. #museumworthy!
