DescriptionThe skirt of this blouse seems to be made of cotton while the "shirt" and sleeves are silk. The stand-up collar neckline is edged with a fine pink and ecru lace. A different lace, but in the same colors, edges the cuffs formed by a gold thread ribbon overlaying the gathers. Pearl buttons (each different) fasten with crocheted loops at cuffs and collar.
