Summary
A woman's blouse made from cream silk crepe-de-chine. The long-sleeved, collarless blouse is decorated in pink, blue and yellow satin-stitch embroidery in a floral pattern on the bib (front and back) and the cuffs and is otherwise undecorated. Internally, the blouse is unlined and has five oval shaped mother-of-pearl buttons and three metal snap fasteners on each shoulder, along with two round mother-of-pearl buttons per cuff, all intact. The blouse has no front fastenings as it was designed to be simply pulled over the head.
