Front: Two yoke pieces with double-turned centre edges that meet edge to edge, forming a short opening under the collar; a folded ruffle, lightly gathered, is caught into the yoke seam.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeves with a gathered cap, elbow length; a row of shirring with elastic thread above the hem forms a frill.

Back: One piece, no centre back seam.

Skirt: A lower ruffle joined into a ring and gathered onto the hem.

Finishing: Belt stitched right sides together and turned; hems of the ruffle and sleeves turned up and topstitched.
