Intricate design. Flattering shirt.
This is a very cool, cotton blouse. The embroidery is extensive, but understated. When you look on the back you can see the work that has been done. It would be better to wash by hand. I am using a stockings bag in the washing machine - this may affect the embroidery cotton longer term. I love it enough to repair by hand if needed.
Relaxed and comfortable fit
I couldn't tell from the photo, but this blouse is cut in a sort of A-shape or swing-shape (wider at the bottom). This makes it very loose and breezy when untucked and gives it a more casual look when tucked-in as well. (It would go well over leggings or other slender-legged pants and would also work as a beautiful maternity blouse or for women who want to hide some belly rolls!) The workmanship is solid, the fabric and colors nice, and I like this shirt a lot. I usually wear it tucked in: it is long enough not to come untucked and the fabric isn't too bulky to show under cotton pants. Recommend, unless you are looking for a taillored shirt.
