Description
Description
The Folio Blouse is an easy-to-wear style with just the right amount of detail to make it interesting. The front is shaped with two elegant pleats, which can be left beautifully simple or finished with small jewel-style buttons for an extra decorative touch. The open neckline keeps the look relaxed and contemporary, while three sleeve options mean you can make Folio to wear throughout the year.
The fabric choice can completely change the feel of the blouse. Try cotton poplin, linen or dupion for a crisper finish, or choose viscose, Tencel, crepe or satin for something softer and more fluid. The long-sleeved version includes a clever mock-buttoned cuff with a concealed edge-to-edge finish, giving you another lovely opportunity to play with contrasting fabric.
