About MeCream and brown fine gauze cotton printed uniform comprising cap, cuffs, collar and apron.

During the 19th and early 20th century waitresses and girls in service were often required to wear a uniform to indicate their rank within the household. Many wore caps, cuffs, collars and aprons with a simple plain dress. Uniforms like this are still adopted today by restaurants and hotels as they convey a nostalgic sense of class from a bygone age.
