The suit was done in a basic sailor style with a deep front "V" and back slap. Accented with a frilly eyelet lace sailor style collar and complimenting lace and attached lace belt. Notice that the belt had no practical purpose and was purely decorative. Unlike most funics, the belt does not appear to vbe an actual detachable belt, but rather sewn on the tunic as more of an accentuated waistline. There was a hidden side of front button closure to the blousy box pleated drop waist skirted tunic, and matching short pants having drawstrings at the waistband and legs. While the suit was done in a sailor style, there was no traditional sailor detailing--normally stripes. Rather the detailing is eyelet lace. Also noitice the pleating.
