David Ring

Drawing made by David Ring for the visualisation of the Europeana Fashion Thesaurus. The description of the concept in this drawing is: Undergarments or garmets worn around the anatomical waist and up onto the chest, to which petticoats and drawers are buttoned. They are lightly boned or unboned, usually made of sturdy fabric, with shoulder straps and buttons at the side for attaching to a lower body garment; usually worn by children and women. (AAT)
