Entirely machine-stitched child’s shirt or blouse made of white cotton. Full sleeves gathered into narrow cuffs. Narrow standing collar. The body has pintucks on either side of the placket concealed by a band of machine embroidery. Gathered into the waistband with white glass shoe buttons having shank plates.
