Linen petticoat panel featuring intricate decoration in corded quilting, pulled work, embroidery and French knots. Large motifs feature nearer the hemline, and smaller flowers and leaves are equally placed along the top half of the panel. The flat panel would originally have been joined to other pieces and gathered onto a waistband to form a petticoat, but now only one piece of it survives.
