Collar: Shirt collar on a separate stand, topstitched along the edge; the stand is caught between the blouse and the facings, forming a V-neckline.

Front: Wrap front with princess seams; the right front overlaps the left and fastens with three buttons along its edge; an inner button holds the under layer. Separate front facings joined to the back neck facing.

Waist: Two belt pieces: one is inserted into the right front princess seam, the other is attached at the centre front edge of the right front; both are tied in a bow at the centre back.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no centre back seam.

Finishing: Hem overlocked, turned up and topstitched.
