The useful fact about this blouse is the lining. Its body is lined, so there is no guessing about whether a silky print will show what sits underneath, which is where most light florals fail at a desk. Sleeves gather into shirred cuffs with a small ruffle at the wrist, and the V-neck carries a pleat at its base that stops the opening from splaying. The print is a multicoloured floral on green. It has collected enough feedback by now that the sizing is well established.

Reading the shirred cuff floral work blouse

one

Lined through the body

Lining settles the see-through question outright, and it also adds a little weight, so the blouse hangs over a waistband instead of catching on it. That is the difference between a top that goes to the office and one that stays for weekends.

two

Shirred cuffs with a ruffle

Each sleeve gathers into a shirred cuff finished with a ruffle. The gathering keeps the sleeve from sliding down over the hand while reaching across a desk, and the ruffle supplies the only decoration on an otherwise plain long sleeve.

three

A pleat at the base of the V

Small detail, real effect: the pleat where the V-neck ends holds the two sides together as the blouse moves. Without it, a soft fabric in this neckline tends to spread open by the middle of a meeting.

The lining is the reason this one reports for work while the sheer florals stay home.

Fit, honestly

Sizes run S to XL, with the brand chart placing S at 4-6, M at 8-10, L at 12-14 and XL at 16-18. Long sleeves close at the shirred cuffs, and there are no buttons or zip, so it goes on over the head. Machine washable; Simplee says it holds its colour and its size through washing.
