Cream ribbed silk with polychrome silk embroidery using a mixture of floss, twisted and chenille silk threads in satin, stem, chain and a tied cross-stitch. The back and lining of linen. Stand collar; skirts diverge at an angle just below the waist. Buttonholes uncut, hook and eye fastening. Flaps over sham pockets. Believed to be of Irish origin; embroidery provincial rather than highest quality.
History note: Said to have belonged to Nathaniel Craven, a relative of the donor's late mother-in-law Elizabeth Barnes (nee Ogle).
