FAQs

What material is this blouse made of?

The blouse is crafted from 100% cotton for a breathable and comfortable wear.

How should I wash this blouse?

It is recommended to hand wash or dry clean this blouse to protect the delicate pleating and bead embellishments.

Can I machine dry this blouse?

No, machine drying is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and embellishments. Lay flat to dry instead.

What is the best way to iron this blouse?

Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Steaming is a safer alternative for refreshing pleats.

How does the elasticated waistband fit?

The elasticated smocked waistband is designed to cinch the silhouette naturally, creating a defined waist without the need for a separate belt.

What kind of bottoms does this blouse pair well with?

It pairs well with tailored or wide-leg trousers, denim, and midi skirts. The peplum silhouette works particularly well with straight-cut or flared bottoms.

Is the bead embellishment durable?

The bead embellishment adds an artisan quality. It is advisable to handle the garment with care to maintain its integrity.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing shape

Gently steam the garment on a low setting. Ensure the blouse is laid flat to dry after washing.

Beadwork appears loose

Carefully hand-sew any loose beads back into place using a matching thread. Avoid excessive tugging on the beads.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. A fabric conditioner specifically for cotton might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Blouse appears wrinkled

Hang the blouse in a steamy bathroom or use a cool iron on the reverse side. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning is advised.
