This is a long-sleeved, collared blouse with a V-neckline when unbuttoned at the top. A key design element is the extensive smocking across the upper bodice on both the front and back of the shirt. It has a full button-front closure and long sleeves that end in smocked, two-button cuffs, which can create a slight bubble-sleeve effect. The hemline is often a high-low or scooped design.

-The blouse is designed to be oversized and flowy, intended to drape loosely over the body.
