- Round neckline finished with bias binding, with optional ruffle collar
- Optional shoulder ruffles for extra drama
- Two-piece full-length bishop sleeves with elasticated hem

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS - For the version with tucks choose a lightweight woven fabric which presses well, such as cotton lawn, voile, poplin, Swiss dot, seersucker, double gauze, chambray. Versions without tucks would also be lovely in broidery anglaise, viscose / rayon or tencel.
