Scope and content
White silk long sleeved shirt with braid trim and stand collar. The silk has slubs and a matt surface on one side and a satin finish on the underside. The shirt fastens at the neck with a press stud (one side missing) and buttons down the centre front with five plastic buttons hidden by a placket. The braid trim is made of loops of different types of apricot coloured and gold threads and is sewn around the collar, cuffs and down the centre front. It has a vent in the centre back and gussets in the sleeves near the cuffs to create a wider opening.
