{"product_id":"edalynn™-elegant-summer-blouse","title":"Edalynn™ | Elegant Summer Blouse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eButtoned all the way down, and cut so the buttons never have to hold anything shut.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA button-front blouse fails in three predictable places on a fuller body. The buttons sit at intervals drafted for a smaller chest, so the widest point lands between two of them and the front pulls open into a horizontal gap the moment you reach or lean. Size up to stop that, and the shoulder seam slides halfway down your upper arm and the armhole hangs empty. And the hem: cut level, the front has further to travel over the bust and stomach than the back does, so by lunchtime the front has climbed above your waistband while the back still sits where it started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdalynn is drawn the other way round. The body is cut boxy and wide through the chest and waist, so the placket is never under tension — that tension is what opens a button gap in the first place. The shoulder seam is deliberately dropped onto the arm, so there is no shoulder point it has to land on and a size chosen for your chest still hangs straight. The hem is curved, longer at the centre front and back and shorter at the sides, so there is length left where the fabric lifts. The sleeves are cut wide enough to turn back to the contrast cuff and stay there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-length button placket:\u003c\/strong\u003e every button carries a share of the opening, so no single fastening takes the strain across the bust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoxy cut through chest and waist:\u003c\/strong\u003e the front hangs loose instead of being held across you, which is the actual cause of a gaping placket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuffled trim down the placket and neckline:\u003c\/strong\u003e a gathered, doubled edge has body of its own, so the V holds its shape rather than falling open flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDropped shoulder seams:\u003c\/strong\u003e nothing has to sit on your shoulder point, so sizing for the bust doesn't leave the sleeve head in the wrong place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved high-low hem:\u003c\/strong\u003e longer at the centre front and back, shorter at the sides — length where the fabric rides, no extra width at the hip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight slubbed weave:\u003c\/strong\u003e it hangs away from the body instead of sitting against it in heat, and the irregular surface means ordinary creases read as texture rather than pull lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an oversized shape and it is meant to look like one, so take your usual size — going up adds width, not length. The weave is fine and lets some light through at the hem, so a cami underneath if you'd rather it weren't see-through. The sleeves are made to be worn turned back; the darker contrast cuff shows when you roll them.
