The sleeves are a medium-full bishop sleeve with a buttoned cuff. Under the gathered bodice is a fitted lining. The closure is at the center front, and can be either buttons or hooks/eyes. The skirt waistband is attached over the waist of bodice, with the opening in the left side-front seam. A pocket is hidden in the skirt opening. A pattern for the skirt is given in full, with instructions for cartridge pleating.
