Ruffled Blouse

A blouse with a soft ruffle running down the front placket and around an open V neckline — enough movement to feel romantic without tipping into fussy. The buttons sit hidden behind the placket, so nothing interrupts the line except the ruffle itself.

The fabric has a faint crinkle and a dry, papery hand, so it falls away from the body rather than clinging. Long blouson sleeves gather softly at the cuff, and a pair of narrow ties at the neck hang loose down the front — leave them undone or knot them, both work.

In ivory and a deep mocha brown. Tucked into tailored trousers it looks sharp; over a satin skirt it goes softer :)
