About MeThis cream cotton full length underskirt was worn with a silk and lace wedding dress. The cotton underskirt served to give bulk and shape, as well as support, to the delicate silk overskirt. It was worn by Matilda Murray on her marriage to Archibald Clow on the 19th of July 1905, in the Skene Street Congregational Church.
