Our split-crotch drawers are perfect for most of the 1800’s. Drawers, also known as pantaloons or pantalettes are an essential part of your underpinning wardrobe. They provide for modesty underneath those long skirts. Drawers are worn under everything else, so the split-crotch makes going to the “necessary” much easier.
These drawers were designed with comfort in mind. They are made of 100% clear white cotton muslin. They have a wide waistband and long drawstrings to allow for tying in the front. The lower edge is finished with cotton eyelet lace and ribbon, to either leave the leg wide or draw it in to your calf. These drawers are meant to overlap in the back and the drawstring comes around and ties in the front. This helps the drawers stay overlapped in the back, so you do not get that “airy” feeling. It is also easier if you are tying your drawstrings where you can see them. Lace patterns may vary from pictures.
We offer these drawers in 3 PLUS Sizes: To insure a good fit use the larger measurement from your waist or hips. X-Large: 50 – 52 Inches XX-Large: 54 – 58 Inches XXX-Large: Up to 62 inches ** If needed I can do a CUSTOM item to any measurement.
I also offer a "set" with matching chemise trimmed with the same eyelet lace and adapted for the PLUS size lady.
These drawers can be machine washed in cool to warm water, bleached if necessary BUT should be hung to dry.
