The pleats in the back are very obvious on this one are they sewn in?
They were not manufactured into the design but were traditionally "pressed" in with an iron. They were commonly known as "369" because they were nominally supposed to be 3" 6" 9" in length from the outside and were particulary favoured by the Royal Artillery. They were often sewn in by the regimental tailor as an aid to "Bull" (typically a post-war or garrison and parade practice) in the same way that trouser creases have been known to be enhanced!
Regards
Mark

Nice blouse, Jerry
further confirmation that the modification of the collar was a widespread practice in the 1946 pattern.
Thanks for sharing it!
