Description (Physical description)
The colour of this blouse is faded, and there used to be red edging which is now torn and frayed. This is a sleeveless, unlined blouse, with no shape cut into it - it is effectively a square when flat. There also appears to have been some repair patching done under the left arm-opening. It also appears that there was a rip in the back towards the bottom which has been repaired.
