A white cotton garment laid out with a central rectangular section features small embroidered dots across its translucent surface. A wide band of floral eyelet embroidery runs along the bottom, finishing in a scalloped border with circular openings. Four long, narrow ties extend from each corner of the piece. Near the center, small dark marks and holes punctuate the fabric. These delicate patterns create a light, airy composition of textured white-on-white.
