The garment features long sleeves with rib knit cuffs, a rib knit bottom, and sewn-in blouse “front” on the inside of the garment. The blouse front is constructed of 100% polyester woven fabric and is permanently sewn into the side seams and gives the appearance of a 2-piece garment. The woven portion features a tie closure.
