This is for an embroidered mid-18th c. ladies fichu embroidered with a waving border of vines with leaves and flowers, edged with delicate scallops. There is a small floral spray placed in the corner of the fichu, just above the border.  It is machine embroidered in cotton thread on cotton lawn fabric.
