DescriptionInfant boy's shirt of plain white cotton. The front and back panels of the shirt are cut as slightly flared squares, stitched up the sides and joined at the top by a 7/8-inch-wide shoulder strap, resulting in a wide, square neckline. The side seams are open for 1 3/4 inch at the top; the sleeve is set into each opening and gathered into the shoulder strap. The sleeves are 2 1/2 inches long. They are stitched with gussets to provide ease under the arm.
