Long sleeves gathered at sleeve cap and wrist, which is finished with a strip or band of machine-embroidered tape, and a flounce of machine-embroidered fabric. Front and back have a scoop panel, not quite a yoke, which is trimmed in more machine-embroidered fabric in a flounced strip, and filled in by a panel of cotton pleated or tucked vertically. High round neckline with stand collar made form the same flounced fabric. CB closure of one bottom at back of neck, made form wood or celluloid or tonga nut. Almost entirely machine-stitched, save for the buttonhole. Some light stains, and side seam underarm has come undone.
