Sleeveless, floaty and light, this white blouse is a masterpiece in silk that instantly makes you look smart. Its bodice fastens with five jewel buttons and is enlivened by a tone-on-tone ruffle that runs from the button placket up and around a little crew neck collar to show off your neck and head to perfection. Your arms are left bare and the feminine design borrows substantially from the Victorian era.
