Puawai | Floral Print Button Blouse

The first thing you'll wear that isn't a jumper.

Puawai is a soft, floaty floral blouse in a warm-white jersey - a watercolour rose print washing across the front, the sleeves and the back, with tiny butterflies scattered through it. A notched V-neck opens onto a row of small buttons. Fine pin-tucks run from the shoulders and release into an easy, flowing body. The 3/4 sleeves finish in a soft bell with a pointed cuff, and the hem dips gently at the sides so it sits over the hip instead of stopping at it.

It's cut for the weeks we're in right now - too warm for a heavy knit indoors, still too cool for bare arms outside. Wear it under a coat until the mornings turn, then wear it on its own the first week you don't need one. Denim underneath, always.

The Details

• Watercolour floral print with butterfly detail - front, back and sleeves
• Notched V-neckline with a half-placket of small buttons
• Pin-tuck pleating from the shoulder for shape without tightness
• 3/4 bell sleeves with a soft pointed cuff - upper arms fully covered
• Curved, slightly longer side hem that sits over the hip
• Soft stretch jersey knit with elastane through it - it moves and comes back
• Flows away from the middle rather than clinging

Sizing & Fit

This one runs on the trim side - the pin-tucks take a little room across the chest. If you are between sizes, take the larger one. Please note the chart below shows garment (product) measurements, not body measurements - choose a size with a chest measurement comfortably larger than your own, and size up again if you like a loose, flowing drape.

Care

Gentle machine wash cold with like colours. Hang to dry - it drops the creases on its own. Cool iron if needed. Do not tumble dry.
