Seraphina | Floral Embroidered Blouse For Women

NOTHING TO BUTTON. NOTHING TO FALL OPEN.

You pull it over your head on a warm Saturday morning and that is the whole decision made. The weave sits away from your skin, the embroidery catches the light at the neckline, and you are out the door with your keys in your hand.

Pull it on and leave it alone

There is no button placket down the front, so there is no row of gaps waiting to open across your chest. The neckline is a round neck with a short slit at the centre, and that slit stops high, above the bust rather than through it. Lean over the table, reach into the back of the car, hug someone hello: it stays where you put it. One less thing to keep checking through the day.

Room through the upper arm

The sleeve is cut full from the shoulder and gathers into a narrow band just above the elbow. All that width sits where your arm is widest, and the band holds the sleeve hem in place instead of the sleeve gripping halfway up. Raise both arms and the sleeve gives first, so the body of the blouse stays down where it belongs. Half sleeves cut this generously are rare; most are drafted narrow and then graded up by a centimetre or two.

The embroidery runs down, not across

The folk flowers sit in one narrow panel from the neckline to the middle of the chest, with a beaded border tracing the neck. It is placed once, down the centre front, so at 4XL it is still a panel rather than a motif stretched wide across the bust.

It stays over the waistband

The hem is straight and finishes below the waistband of your jeans, with a little extra length at the sides. Load the dishwasher, stretch for the top shelf, and it drops back down instead of creeping up into a crop.

Straight through, no waist seam

Nothing is nipped in at the middle: the blouse falls from the shoulder past the bust and the hip in one line, so there is no waist seam landing in the wrong place on you. The matte, airy weave hangs away from the body instead of clinging, and it runs from sizes M to 4XL.
