It consists in a "dickey, the same comprising a bosom divided down its center, a box-plait at the inner edge of each section of the divided bosom, said plaits registering with each other and the two faces of the bosom being finished alike, cross-straps at the lower ends of the sections, a tab depending from each strap, a flap between said tabs, and a collar-band connected to the upper ends of both sections" (lines 66-75).
