Rectangular embroidered cotton textile trouser leg. One of the shorter and both of the longer sides has been turned and machine sewn. The remaining edge is raw with widely spaced overstitching. There are seven bands of embroidery. The top and the fifth are identical: consisting of a line of pink flowers outlined in green, flanked by dark blue flowers (?) outlined in black. The third and seventh band have identical patterning but different colourways: yellow and green for the centre, purple and orange for the outside. Three narrower bands of light blue, black and yellow separate these main bands.
