This is one of those pieces I saw and immediately thought, I need this in my closet. I always have an eye out for modest tops that don't need layering and easily complete an outfit. I love styling button-downs in different ways, but tying a regular blouse can get bulky and never quite lay the way you want it to. This one was actually designed to be tied, which makes all the difference.
The Versatile Satin Blouse has two longer ties built into the front, giving you so many ways to wear it without all that extra bulk. Tie it once and leave the tails hanging for an easy, relaxed look, make a bow for something a little more polished, or wrap the ties around your waist and tie them in the back for a clean, almost tucked-in look. You can also play around with where the length hits on your waist depending on how tightly you tie it.
It's made from a very lightweight satin fabric with just the right amount of sheen, not overly shiny. The classic button-down front and collar make it easy to dress up or down, and the functional buttons also make it nursing-friendly. The long sleeves have buttoned cuffs, so you can wear them down or unbutton and roll them up for a more casual look.
Pair it with a maxi skirt, a printed skirt or even layer it over a slip dress. Since bringing this blouse into the store, it's quickly become one of those pieces I find myself showing customers over and over because there are just so many ways to wear it.
Fit: Runs generously and is intended to have a relaxed fit. I recommend sizing down. I sized down to a Medium. My current bust/waist measurements are 44/37.
