One of these garments, manufactured from jersey fabric of 100% cotton, is a long-sleeved, v-necked garment that fastens together by means of a hook-and-eye closure near the waistline of the garment. This garment extends to the vicinity of the waistline on a girls’ mannequin for size 5. Sewn by means of flimsy stitches into the shoulder seams of this cardigan-like garment is the other of the two garments, a tank top, manufactured from woven fabric of 100% polyester.
