Child's shirt or tunic. Shirt is long, flaring at bottom, wide at the underarm, then narrowing toward the cuffs. It is carefully shaped by the use of several pieces of fabric that are sewn together in small, tight seams. Neck opening is small and round, edged in embroidered lines of dark pink. Front is open to chest, fastened at top with a small shell button, and lined with a light tan embroidery nearly to bottom hem, where pink thread is again incorporated. Back is decorated below neckline with a single line of dark pink embroidery, below which sits a small flower motif in yellow, light pink and light green.
