- This is an aqua blue two-piece dress consisting of a blouson sweater top and a matching long skirt. The sweater has open-work crochet patterns at the top of each sleeve.

The calf-length, gathered drop-waist skirt has a wide elasticized waist made up of a band of knit ribbing. The skirt also has the same open-work pattern at the hem as the sleeve, running up the skirt in vertical rows.
