Dress (Greece), late 19th–early 20th century

Dress opens down front to waist, with standing collar, straight sleeve with square set into arms. Skirt is crudely set on waistline, and shows signs of alteration; it is made in six panels and flares at bottom. Embroidery is mostly in deep rose and black.
