waistline of its center seam, and a pointed ornament that follows the outline of the neck and reaches nearly half-way to thewaist-linle; elbow-sleeves that exhibit an opening nearly to the top, and then covered reverse folding over from the edges of the opening. The lower outline describes a point at the center of the front, a high arch at thesides, and a short postilion at the back.
