The sleeves curve at the elbow and are edged with a pinked ruching. A pinked band of silk, stitched above each elbow covers sleeve piecings with linen The bodice meets at the front. The bodice and sleeves are lined with unbleached linen. The pleats at the back are stitched down; the skirt finely pleated into the waistseam and held in place with loose stitches in the inside, 3 cm below the waistseam.
