Frequently Asked Questions
What is cutwork embroidery?
Cutwork is a form of embroidery where sections of fabric are cut away and the raw edges are finished with embroidery stitching to create a lace-like, openwork pattern. The hollow-out openings create beautiful light and shadow play and give the fabric an artisan, handcrafted quality that's genuinely beautiful up close.
Is the white fabric see-through?
The base fabric has a light opacity, and the cutwork sections are deliberately open by design. We recommend wearing a white or nude bralette or camisole underneath for the most polished look, especially as the puff sleeves feature the cutwork detailing prominently.
Is this suitable for a holiday or beach destination?
Absolutely — the White Puff Sleeve Cutwork Embroidered Blouse is the quintessential Mediterranean holiday piece. The crisp white, elegant puff sleeves and delicate cutwork create a naturally sophisticated, resort-ready look that works from exploring cobbled streets to candlelit dinners.
How do I care for the cutwork embroidery during washing?
Turn the blouse inside out before washing to protect the delicate cutwork openings. Use a cold, gentle cycle and hang to dry rather than tumble drying. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. With gentle care the cutwork detail will remain intact and beautiful over many washes.
