V Neck Long Sleeve Ruched Blouse in Eggshell

A blouse earns its place by being useful on the mornings you have no time and no ideas. This one has a V neckline that opens up the collarbone, long sleeves that finish properly at the wrist, and ruching gathered through the fabric so the shape holds itself together without any structure underneath. Buttons and ruching are the two features doing the work, and between them they turn a plain top into something you could wear to a meeting.

The fabric is 100% polyester with a slight stretch, which is what makes the ruching sit softly rather than pulling tight across the body. Eggshell is the colour, and it is a smarter choice than plain white. It is warmer, it does not glare under office lighting, and it flatters a wider range of skin tones. It also happens to be the shade that makes everything else in your wardrobe look considered, from black trousers to washed denim to a camel coat.

Sizes run S through XL. Top length sits between 23.2 and 25.6 inches across the range, so it lands at the hip and tucks in cleanly without bunching. Bust measures from 40.9 inches on a size S up to 48.8 inches on an XL, which leaves genuine room through the body rather than a close cut. Sleeve length runs 28.1 to 30 inches. Tuck it into tailored trousers with a slim belt for work, leave it out over straight leg jeans at the weekend, or layer it under a blazer when the day calls for it. The V neck is a good frame for a fine chain or a pendant, and it looks equally right with nothing at all. It is the kind of top you buy once and then quietly rely on for years.
