1995.2a-bDescription
Gym uniform consisting of a tunic top and bloomer-style pants, both made of tan cotton edged in black cotton tape. The tunic has long sleeves and reached to below the wearer's knees. The neckline is square and accented at the corners with triangular cutouts, each with mother-of-pearl buttons at the top corners. The tunic is cut straight, but the waist can be fitted with black cotton ties on either side.
The pants, or bloomers, have an elastic waistband (now permanently stretched), and elastic cuffs. The elastic cuffs are accented with black cotton tape and a loop of fabric creates a ruffle beneath the casing.Context
