This is a basic darted bodice with bishop sleeves, removable white collar and cuffs, knife pleated skirt that has a printed hem facing and a pretty silk cravat that pins at to the neckline. If you notice in CdVs, you'll see that many women wore cravats or bows of ribbon at their neck. It is a simple, but very becoming accessory to complete the look.
