{"product_id":"helena-elegant-summer-blouse","title":"Helena™ | Elegant Summer Blouse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTen prints, and all ten of them go up to 4XL.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoice is the thing that quietly disappears as the sizes go up. The interesting prints stay on the straight-size rail and what's left in the larger sizes is whatever nobody minded reprinting. The garment itself has the usual faults on top. A popover has one opening and it stops at mid-chest, so the body has to clear your bust with the buttons fastened — graded up from a small block, it doesn't, and you are wrestling it over your shoulders twice a day. The armhole compounds it: cut where the pattern says, it binds at the upper arm, and the first time you reach for something overhead the whole shirt lifts off your waistband and stays there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHelena is the same cut in ten different artworks, every one of them made in every size. The body is genuinely oversized with the armhole dropped deep towards the waist, so it goes over your head with nothing to negotiate and reaching raises the sleeve instead of the hem. The prints are painted at large scale — whole blooms, broad brushwork, full-width patchwork — rather than fine repeats that go muddy when the panel widens. The hem curves longer at the centre front and back and shorter at the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll ten prints made in every size:\u003c\/strong\u003e you pick the artwork you want, not the one that happens to be left.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide body with a deep dropped armhole:\u003c\/strong\u003e it goes on over your head without a struggle, which is where popovers usually fail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatwing sleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e you reach and the sleeve moves, not the hem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge-scale painted artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e broad brushwork rather than a fine repeat, so the print holds its proportion on a wider panel.\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, so sitting down doesn't pull it short.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoomy sleeves with a contrast turn-back cuff:\u003c\/strong\u003e wide enough at the upper arm to roll and stay rolled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxy and oversized by design — take your usual size. The weave is fine and lets light through at the hem; the pale grounds (Cream Dotted Blooms, White Confetti Floral, Painterly Bouquet) show it most, so a cami underneath if you'd rather it weren't see-through. The sleeves are meant to be turned back. Ten colourways: Impressionist Garden, Blooming Meadow, Painterly Bouquet, Teal Painted Blooms, Cream Dotted Blooms, White Confetti Floral, Sage Pink Poppies, Retro Cut-Out Floral, Mint Cactus Cats and Patchwork Quilt Print. Sizes M to 4XL.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curve Queen","offers":[{"title":"Impressionist Garden \/ M","offer_id":58416107127167,"sku":"AD244-Impressionist
