Description: 
The blouse is made from off-white cotton. It features a high, ruffled collar with subtle lace and decorative trim around the edges. The upper chest area is adorned with detailed pintucks (narrow pleats) arranged in a chevron or "V" pattern, extending from the shoulders down toward the center. Eyelet embroidery is visible above the pin tucked sections, adding texture and a decorative touch. A row of small buttons runs down the center of the blouse. The sleeves are full-length and slightly loose, with narrow cuffs that are decorated with small pin tucks and some embroidery. The cuffs appear to close with small buttons or a simple hemmed finish. The skirt is made of lightweight fabric, cotton, matching the blouse in its cream or off-white tone. It has a grid-like checkered or plaid pattern, which is subtle but visible. The skirt is gathered at the waist, providing volume and a flowing silhouette. It is ankle-length and the hemline has a wide plain band, adding weight to the bottom and creating a clean finish.
