Tightly woven with a slightly smoother feel. \u003cbr\u003eA trousseau sheet with finely worked ladder stitch drawn thread work that now embellishes the yoke, pockets and sleeves, together with an additional band of raised 3-dimensional embroidered pastilles.  A prettily hand-embroidered monogram adorns the back yoke. Meticulously sewn. \u003cbr\u003eA medium weight linen\/cotton with a wonderful drape and handle. A gorgeous texture, cool and comfortable against the skin. The quality of these rare to find antique linens is extraordinary and just gets better the more it is washed.
