A round neck hole is cut, and then a center front opening, which is curved towards the sides. Pointed oval shapes are cut in from the edge to form the sleeves. All edges are then bound with very pale aqua silk ribbon. The edges under the sleeves and on the sides are connected by ribbon tied in bows. The neck edge fastens with extensions of the ribbon from the neckline binding.
