Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

Light blue African wax print cotton pants with gold and blue flowers. The pants have an overall (possibly roller print) that resembles a traditional African wax print. The print consists of six large petaled abstract flowers with gold petals and dark blue centers and irregularly spaced abstract horizontal lines with triangular shapes extending from the lines. There are also blue abstract lines in various spots that are designed to resemble a wax resist. The pants sit at the natural and taper at the ankles. They open center front with a black plastic button and a black plastic zipper with a meal YKK zipper pull. There is one panel for each leg (front and back) with a folded and sewn pleat for the outer seam. Each front side has two box pleats that overlap slightly at the waist and there is a self-fabric waistband measuring about 1.
