Description

Long shirt (or short dress) with 3/4 length sleeves and a soft V-shaped neckline. The garment is made from a thin, balanced plain weave fabric and block printed with indigo, creating an off-white dot pattern that forms circular patterns throughout. It is lined with a blue, likely indigo-dyed, fabric that extends about 3/4 down inside the garment. The sleeves remain unlined. Machine stitches and hand stitches are both present.
