Lower sides of front and back stitched together with a different decorative red and white stitich, also with “lumps” of thread. Top of sleeves, underarms of front and back, and sides of front and back, have one to several ~13cm L (except one, which was cut) red and white hanging threads with spaced red or red and white thread tassles, or white balls of pressed material.

Side to side = 33cm. Sleeves = 41-42cm L.
