FEATURES: this vintage garment dates back to mid 20th century. It's a long workwear shirt made of durable pre-shrunk cotton. Originally, probably a menswear pull-over shirt (based on which side are the buttons), but now can be treated as unisex and worn also by women as a shirt-dress as it is quite long in length. The garment features 4 button front placket and a small yoke bellow it from which a small box pleat falls. Also features pointed long collar, a rounded bottom hem with side slits, button at cuffs and a pocket to the chest.
