Summary
A large, white, thick cotton blouse, possibly part of a Portuguese national costume. The blouse has a round open collar with a vertical opening below, going a third of the way down the blouse. This opening fastens at the top with a press stud. On both sides of the opening are large embroidered blue flowers, with more flowers decorating the shoulders and the cuffs. Additional blue embroidery edges the collar, the front opening and the cuffs. The top and ends of the sleeves have a ribbed square sewn onto them, pulling the sleeves tight.
