Mirrorwork, white rickrack and red beaded pompoms are incorporated into the design overall. At the neckline there is a straight, centre-front slit, decorated with triangular dark grey tabs with tie-cords. Tie-cords are also located at the back of the neck. At the back of the shoulders, plain panels of dark red cotton textile are attached. Sleeves are extensions of the shoulder pieces. Sleeve edges and the hem are bound with strips of plain cotton textile trimmed with decorative machine stitching. A label made of off-white cotton textile, printed with a rubber stamp, is attached at the neck edge on the front with a loose running stitch.
