Product Description

• Fabric Density & Weave: 160 GSM lightweight woven viscose crepe, providing a fluid liquid drape, soft matte luster, and cool-touch breathability.

• Shoulder & Sleeve Architecture: Intricate multi-row smocked shoulder yoke paired with voluminous pleated puff sleeves and elasticized ruffle cuffs.

• Neckline & Seam Integrity: Clean-finished plunging V-neckline featuring internal bias-tape facing for a flat, lay-flat chest drape.

• Hem & Fit Details: Straight-cut loose silhouette with single-needle hem stitching engineered for tucked or untucked styling.

Wearing Style (How & Where to Fashion)

• The Executive Power Look: Tuck into solid charcoal tailored high-waisted trousers paired with black leather pumps.

• The Evening Soirée: Style with high-rise dark indigo selvedge denim jeans and silver hardware accessories.

• The Weekend Brunch: Pair with off-white wide-leg linen pants and tan leather slides.

Washing Style (Fabric Care)

• The Ritual: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a delicate cold cycle (30°C) inside-out using mild, pH-neutral liquid detergent.

• The Avoidance: Do not wring or tumble dry. Avoid high heat to prevent fabric shrinkage or elastic damage.

• The Finish: Line dry flat in shade. Steam-iron inside-out on low heat setting.

Behind the Craft: Pure Fibers & Honest Pricing

• The Textile Proof: Woven Viscose Crepe vs. Polyester Synthetics: Cheap synthetic blouses trap heat, feel static, and develop surface pilling after minimal wears. Our 160 GSM woven crepe utilizes natural cellulose fibers that breathe effortlessly while offering a fluid, matte drape.

• The Tailoring Standard: Precision Smocked Elasticity: Engineered with elasticated shoulder smocking, the sleeve gathers maintain dynamic volume without pulling or constricting movement.
