This one piece step-in undergarment is based on a design that was popular for girls from 1900 through the 1920s. Known as a combination, it served as a chemise, petticoat, and drawers all in one and was just the thing to wear under the easy-going styles of the 1920s. The bodice closes in the back with two buttons and a snap and the handy drop-seat fastens to the bodice back with three buttons, one being shared with the lower bodice back. The neckline and armscyes are neatly finished with flat lace.
- View A has a round neckline with bloomer shorts.
- View B has a squared neckline with lace edged shorts.
- View C has a Flapper-style neckline with lace shoulder straps.
All views feature tailored plackets on each side of the drop-seat that give it a truly period finish.
