Style #30046 is a women's yarn dyed 100% cotton woven jumper which features a V-neck front, deep cut armhole openings, a buttoned back opening to the fully gathered waist and a long hemmed skirt. Style 17077 is a girls' yarn dyed 100% cotton woven dress styled like the women's jumper, however the armholes are close fitting which allows the dress to be worn alone without another outer garment.
