Check price & buyVelvet made up as a button-down: emerald green, 92 percent polyester with 8 percent spandex, so it holds a slightly fitted line and still gives when the arms move. Bell sleeves widen at the wrist, and the buttons are pearl rather than plain plastic, which is the detail doing most of the work. Simplee calls the finish pilling resistant and the stitching reinforced. Sizing runs S to XL on the usual US scale.

The closure is the decoration. Pearl buttons on a dark green ground read as deliberate dressing rather than a shirt that happened to be shiny, and they are the reason the same blouse can be tucked into a skirt for an office and still hold up with heels at night.
The cut stays close through the torso and then opens at the forearm. That contrast keeps a velvet top from sliding towards loungewear, and the flare gives the sleeve somewhere to go when the arm is raised.
Velvet woven with spandex behaves nothing like the stiff upholstery sort: it moves with the shoulders and does not crease across the lap. The rest of the blend is polyester, so the blouse is warm without being a knit.
Sizes S to XL correspond to US 4-6, 8-10, 12-14 and 16-18. The silhouette is described as slightly fitted through the body, with the spandex content absorbing the gap between sizes. Buttons run down the front and the sleeves flare at the wrist. Machine wash on a gentle cycle and hang to dry.
