Embroidered shirt with belt. The blouse has a short, unfolded stand-up collar with brown scalloped embroidery in a flower, leaf and vine pattern around its edge. This pattern is repeated along the front shirt edge and sleeve edges. The garment closes at front with pearlescent plastic buttons. The right side of the shirt lies overtop of the left and extends out at an angle near the base of the collar. This extension is decorated with the same floral embroidery, with similar over the left breast as well as three large embroidered flowers. The left front side of the shirt is gathered into five darts. Paper tags are attached to the left sleeve and to the back of the collar. A belt of the same fabric is attached at the waist by two loops.
