A pair of child’s flat socks made of two pieces of fine plain white silk lined with coarser off-white cotton cloth. The silk is folded over towards the inside at the top and sewn to the cotton cloth in an invisible seam along the front, bottom and back of each sock. No stitching is visible as all is concealed between the two layers of fabric. There is a small opening on the inside front seam of each sock. The heel of each sock curves outward and the toes curve upward, ending in a point.
Under-trousers of very fine white cotton fabric with a sheen. Pants are angled out from the waistband to the ankles. Body of pants is pleated onto a wide waistband, opening at the back. At each side of the waistband opening is attached a narrower long tie. Pleats face towards the centre, front and back. Crotch is very low, at about knee-height, and open. On each side of the crotch opening is sewn an additional panel, extending from the lower edge of the front of the waistband to each side of the back opening. Panels overlap where they are attached to the front of the waistband so that one inserts into the other. The inner seams of the legs below the panels form convex curves, so that the pants are narrower at the ankles.
