FAQs
Is this blouse true to size?
The Laurene Tie Blouse is designed with a relaxed, flattering fit. Since it is size XL, it offers a generous cut, but you can use the front tie to cinch the waist for a more tailored look.
Can I machine wash this item?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend using a gentle cycle with cool water and mild detergent to extend the life of the linen.
Does the fabric stretch over time?
Linen may expand slightly while worn due to body heat, but it generally returns to its original shape after laundering.
Can I wear this in cooler weather?
Absolutely. The blouse layers well under blazers or cardigans, making it a great transitional piece for spring or autumn.
Is the linen sheer?
The fabric is lightweight and breathable but designed to provide sufficient coverage for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after wearing
This is a natural characteristic of linen; use a garment steamer or a warm iron with steam to smooth out creases between wears.
Blouse feels slightly stiff after washing
Linen softens significantly with each wash. Using a natural fabric softener or tumble drying on a very low setting with dryer balls can help accelerate the softening process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Laurene Tie Blouse retains its shape and quality, follow these care instructions: Always wash your linen garments in cool water on a gentle cycle, or hand wash if possible, to prevent excessive shrinkage or fiber stress. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the linen fibers; if machine drying is necessary, use a very low heat setting and remove while slightly damp. Iron while damp on a medium-high linen setting to effectively remove wrinkles. For storage, hang the blouse on a contoured hanger to maintain the shoulder gathering structure.
