The center line is wider with grey flowers. The lines on either side of the center are made up of cutwork and light brown embroidery in more geometric designs. The bottom of the blouse can be gathered with a drawstring. The petticoat is also white with a tightly pleated waistline and a narrow band of lace around its hemline.
Its red skirt is covered with pale yellow flowers, and yellow-green stems and leaves. Its waistband is covered with geometric embroidery in dark blue, pink, white and green threading. The black apron is also covered with floral embroidery in purple, red, pink, burnt orange, light green, blue, lavender, hot pink and white threading. A vertical row of cream-colored Xes is stitched down its center. Cream-colored bobbin lace with red and green accents is sewn across its hemline.Credit LineIn memory of Gloria and Henry Srsen of Cleveland, Ohio
