1920s women's step-in chemise · loose-fitting bloomers
A miniature white cotton undergarment set consisting of a sleeveless chemise with narrow shoulder straps and matching bloomers or short drawers. The chemise features a simple straight-cut bodice that falls to hip length with minimal shaping. The bloomers appear to have an elastic or drawstring waistband and loose-fitting legs that would have been worn underneath a doll's outer dress. The construction is basic but neat, with simple seaming appropriate for doll clothing of the 1920s period. The cotton fabric appears to be a plain weave in natural white or cream color, showing the practical approach to doll undergarments that mirrored human fashion of the era when looser, less structured undergarments were becoming popular.
