A V-shaped net garment consists of two rectangular lace strips joined at a right angle. A pleated cream fabric band reinforces the mitered corner, featuring a central decorative lace inset. The sheer mesh net is patterned with small, scattered white dots and a scalloped inner border. Delicate floral and vine motifs are worked into this border in fine white thread. The strips extend symmetrically from the vertex against a dark background.
