Frill has surprisingly wide 1/4” hem with good side placed so frill should stand up to present finished edge; separates in center front like a collar. Underarm gussets; short straight sleeves. One side gore on front and one on back; they go half way up. 1/4” hems. Initials “A + P” stitched in gold silk in center front neck.
