This piece, titled "Pillowcase with a Pleated Flounce" by M. Stevens, is an example of textile art from c. 1932. The delicate white linen fabric is adorned with a simple, yet elegant, design of embroidered floral motifs. The prominent pleated flounce around the edge of the pillowcase adds a touch of sophistication, suggesting a luxurious and refined use for this everyday object. The delicate embroidery, intricate pleating, and the use of high-quality linen, highlight the craftsmanship of the period and the attention to detail in domestic textiles.

This pillowcase is part of a trousseau made by Belgian nuns around 1932. The monogram consists of the groom’s surname (Brusse) and the bride’s maiden name (Urtebise). When the linen had to be washed and ironed, it was sent from Amsterdam to Brussels. The handwritten laundry label recommends ironing the pleats by hand.
