The sides and centre are stitched together with sections of coloured thread in pink, purple, dark blue, green and orange. The front and back bib is heavily decorated with embroidery, with different coloured geometric diamond designs on a red background, outlined with rectangles of solid colours. Metallic Lurex thread is used throughout. The armholes also each have a band of embroidery as well as a solid band horizontally across the middle. The bottom edge is unfinished.
