Polka Dot Puff Sleeve Blouse in Navy Blue

Navy and polka dots is a combination that has been quietly working for about a century, and this blouse does not try to improve on it. Puff sleeves lift the shoulder, ruching gathers the body so the fabric moves rather than sitting flat, and decorative buttons finish the front. It is the sort of top that looks correct at a desk and still works when the day carries on past it.

The fabric is 95 percent polyester and 5 percent spandex, which is where the slight stretch comes from and why the blouse follows your shape instead of standing away from it. Sizes run S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Top length sits between 21.3 and 22.8 inches through the range, and the bust runs 34.6 inches in a small up to 43.3 inches in a 2XL. Navy blue is the only colorway.

Tuck it into a high waist trouser or a pencil skirt for work, or leave it out over jeans at the weekend. The puff sleeve means it does not need a jacket to look finished, though a blazer over the top sharpens it up if you want that. Navy takes gold and silver equally well and sits with tan, cream, white and denim, so this is a blouse that will find its way into a lot of outfits without any effort from you.
