Garment detail 

The jacket’s unusual collar features rounded ends that lap over the separate peaked lapels. Long set-in sleeves are set into padded shoulders. The jacket has a jetted pocket on the inside lining. The embroidered WAVES insignia patches are applied to the ends of the collar, the rank insignia to the left sleeve. Campaign ribbon bars are affixed to the left bust flap. The pointed-collar cotton blouse has mother-of-pearl buttons. To accommodate the bust, the front is gathered into a square-shaped yoke that begins at mid-shoulder and ends midway of the armhole. The short sleeves have turn-back cuffs. Three waist darts are grouped to control the fullness.
