Description
The sleeve is gathered at the shoulder and again into a narrow buttoned cuff, so the volume sits in the middle of the arm where it flatters rather than at the top where it widens. The placket is covered, which keeps the front clean and means it reads as a blouse rather than as a shirt.
The cloth is a silk cotton blend — the silk gives the surface and the drape, the cotton gives it enough body to hold the gathers and enough robustness to survive a domestic wash.

Ivory is warm, not stark white — it suited me better than I expected from the photos.

The cuff detail is lovely. Washes at home in a bag with no drama.
