The snaps are the only dark thing on it. Set down the front and again at each cuff, they read as a row of full stops against a pale ground - which is why a blouse with no other detail does not need one.
The collar is cut wide and pointed and left standing slightly away from the neck, the placket is set to close high but is usually worn open a few snaps down, and the shoulders are lightly built to hold the line square. The crepe has a matte finish and enough body to fall in soft folds rather than clinging anywhere.
It is a blouse that looks expensive from across a room, which is most of what a blouse is for.
