Description
Blouse with Victorian-style high-neck. Two finishing options are possible : either with smocked collar and cuffs or with a collar stand with flounces. Short or long sleeves with the same finish as on the collar. Slightly fitted blouse with no bust darts for a contemporary look. The patch pockets on the chest provide a lovely contrast to that classical-style blouse.
