This semi-fitted blouse features a band collar deep underarm gussets, and overlapping front panels that tie on both sides at the armhole and above the waist. The blouse can also be made without the armhole ties for a casual open-collar look. The sleeves are wide at the shoulder and gathered at the shoulder cap; they taper to a close fit below the elbow, in contrast to most loose-sleeved ethnic clothing.

In Nepal, the blouse is traditionally made of velvet and worn under a wrap-style chupa or jumper (like Folkwear # 131 Tibetan Chupa), or over a wrapped and pleated skirt formed from a sari or 6-yard (5.5m) length of fabric. Directions for wrapping the skirt are included inside the pattern, along with professional tips for sewing with velvet.
