Light to the touch, with a collar bold enough to hold its own without overwhelming the rest of you. Our customers come back for this blouse in colour after colour because washable silk is the rare luxury that doesn't punish you for living in it.

The details

Washable silk
Bold collar that holds its shape
Long sleeves with single-button cuffs
Button front with hidden placket
Slight gather at the shoulder for ease of movement

Fit

Designed to skim, not cling. The shoulder sits true, the body has room for layering, and the sleeves have enough length to push up at the cuff. True to size for most. If you prefer a looser silhouette or fall between sizes, size up.

Wear it with

The Eloise Trouser or Josephine Pant tucked in. The Sloane Blazer or Nora Jacket on top for a coordinated look. The Stella Skirt or Dorothy Pencil Skirt for office-to-evening. The Caroline Silk Bias Skirt for the silk-on-silk move.

Care

Hand wash cold with like colours. Do not bleach. Hang to dry. Low iron or steam on low as needed. Dry clean if you prefer — but you don't have to.

Common questions

Is the Ivory see-through?
It's a light silk, so under bright light a bra will be visible. A nude or red bra reads more invisible against most skin tones than a white bra (white shows through against the ivory). For a fully opaque look, layer a silk tank underneath.

How does washable silk actually hold up?
It washes like silk should — gently, cold, hang dry. The fabric softens over time without losing its structure. Customers report wearing the same blouse hundreds of times.

Will it wrinkle?
Silk wrinkles. This one less than most. Hang it after washing and it relaxes back into shape. A quick low-heat steam handles the rest.

Can I wear it to the boardroom?
Yes. The collar is the polish. Tuck into the Eloise Trouser or Josephine Pant, add the Sloane Blazer or Nora Jacket, and you have a coordinated look.

How do I tuck it without bulk?
The hem is finished slim enough to tuck cleanly. For a half-tuck, leave the front centred and the back smooth.
