FAQs
Is the fabric sheer?
The blouse is made from standard weight cotton, providing a high-quality, opaque finish suitable for everyday wear.
Can I tumble dry this blouse?
We recommend air drying to preserve the delicate ruffle detail and ensure the cotton does not shrink.
How should I style the collar?
The collar can be worn buttoned all the way to the top for a formal, high-neck look, or left open for a more casual, breathable fit.
Is the fit true to size?
The Joules Melanie blouse is designed to have a fluid, slightly relaxed drape, fitting true to standard UK dress sizing.
What is the best way to store this blouse?
Hang the blouse on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the ruffle detail is not crushed by other heavy garments.
Troubleshooting
Ruffles losing structure after washing
Gently shake the blouse while damp and reshape the ruffles with your fingers before air drying.
Stubborn wrinkles in the cotton fabric
Use a light steam iron on a low setting, ensuring you do not apply too much pressure directly to the ruffle seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Joules Melanie blouse, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Because the ruffle neckline is a focal point of the garment, avoid heavy agitation during the drying process; air drying or flat drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity. When ironing, focus on the flat panels of the bodice while carefully steaming or lightly pressing the ruffle edges to avoid flattening the pleats. This blouse pairs exceptionally well with mid-to-high rise denim, corduroy skirts, or tailored wool blazers.
