It has wonderful design details; the bodice has a series of horizontal pin tuck pleats with exposed rectangular eyelets on the collar bone. These are further repeated on the elegant tapered sleeves. The high necked collar is delicately edged in cotton tulle and this is repeated on the cuffs. It has the most dainty, genuine pearlescent buttons on the cuffs
