In peony chiffon, the blouse is all movement and detail: an Edwardian stand collar built from multi-row elastic shirring, the bodice gathering loosely into it and falling in a high-low line. Full raglan sleeves end in shirred cuffs that open into a double-layer flounce. A concealed hook-and-eye placket runs the centre front. The white cotton skirt grounds it: dart-shaped at the waist, falling in an unbroken line to a midi hem, a centre back walking slit the only interruption.
