The outer surface of the knit fabric measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction the stitches were formed. The front panel features a V-shaped neckline with embroidery, the long sleeves are hemmed and the hemmed bottom reaches to below the waist. The back panel is made up from 100 percent rayon woven fabric with embroidery and features a high round neckline, a knit yoke made up of 95 percent viscose and 5 percent Spandex jersey knit fabric, and a hemmed bottom that reaches to below the waist.
