Bodice front looks similar to a man's waistcoat in the points that drop below the waist. The lace goes down to about apron level and in back rises to centerback (again, much like an apron), below the lace is a creme colored material, cotton with a moire finish. Large self-fabric colored button slightly to (wearer's) left of middle. There is a large vertical one-sided bow in back.
