The Boho Blouse That Has Its Own Distinctive Silhouette
Light, airy and full of free-spirited personality — the Floral Smocked Peplum Balloon Sleeve Blouse is a warm-weather piece that makes an impression through considered design rather than bold colour. A delicate floral print in soft sky blue covers lightweight polyester, while a smocked chest panel, a distinctive peplum hem and dramatic balloon sleeves create a three-detail silhouette that's genuinely unlike anything in a standard wardrobe.
