FAQs
Is the fabric see-through?
The blouse is made from high-quality cotton designed for a fluid drape. While it is lightweight, it is generally opaque; however, standard skin-tone undergarments are recommended.
Can I wear this in professional settings?
Yes, the smart front placket and structured collar make it highly suitable for business-casual environments, especially when paired with a blazer.
Does the cotton shrink?
As with most natural cotton garments, some minor shrinkage can occur if subjected to high heat. Always follow the cold or gentle wash and air-dry recommendations.
How does the size 26 fit?
The blouse is designed with a fluid, feminine drape that follows the body's natural shape without being overly tight.
Can I iron the ruffle detail?
Yes, you can iron the ruffles. Use the tip of the iron carefully or use a garment steamer to avoid crushing the pleats.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after washing
Lightly mist the garment with water and use a steam iron on the appropriate cotton setting to smooth the fabric.
Difficulty keeping the ruffle looking structured
Gently shake the garment out after washing and hang it to dry immediately to prevent the fabric from setting in a flattened position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Joules Melanie Blouse, adhere to the following care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar white items. Avoid harsh bleaching agents that can weaken the cotton fibers.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking.
- Ironing: Use a medium-heat setting. Iron the blouse while slightly damp to easily remove creases, paying special attention to the ruffle detailing.
- Storage: Hang the blouse on a padded or shaped hanger to preserve the structure of the collar and the flow of the bodice.
