This blouse (blusa in Spanish) is made of unbleached cotton. Red and pink flowers and buttons, orange buds and green branches are embroidered on the pas and upper sleeves. Embroidery is a decorative technique where extra threads are sewn to the fabric. The edges along the neck and sleeves and the stitching are machine embroidered with red thread. Front and back panels are again gathered (see no. 4880-137). \A blouse is used exclusively by women to cover the upper part of the body (torso, shoulders).
