does not make any difference in the
fullness or shape of the blouse but it
breaks the severity of line and gives
style. The regulation MILDLY has a
loose sailor collar that rolls over soft

such blouse slips over the head with
a laced slash below the collar to make
the slip-over blouse easier to get on
