Transcription: "White snood", "Sleeve guards", "Chinese canvas slippers" written on rendering paper. "These overalls are made like denim overalls but in the style of 1920s-1930s women's work clothing. This means that they are more fitted and that they don't have a fly. The closing is on the side - buttoned. There is a waistband. There is top stitching as in all overalls. The patch pocket has numbers and Chinese Characters. She wears a shirt with collar and has sleeve guards. She has a snood made of very thin gauze. Costume is unlined.", "FEMALE EXTRA", "GLASS FACTORY WORKER 'B' ", "ACT 2/1" written on mounting paper.
