Does this blouse need to be tucked in?

No, the 24-inch length and billowy cut are designed to be worn untucked. The shape works on its own without belting or tucking.

How do the tassel ties work on the bodice?

The crisscross bodice wraps across the front and closes with tassel ties, which you can adjust for fit. They add structure and let you control how snug or loose the bodice sits.

Can I roll up the sleeves?

Yes, the full sleeves have button cuffs, so you can wear them down or roll them partway up and secure them with the cuffs.

Is the fabric see-through?

The cotton cambric and poplin blend has body, but depending on the color and your preference, you may want to layer a camisole underneath for full coverage.

How should I choose a size?

The blouse fits true to size with no stretch, so go by your usual measurements. The tassel ties allow some adjustment across the bodice, but the shoulders and sleeves follow standard sizing.

Why it's on GiftsFeed

Cotton poplin blouse with tassel-tie bodice and billowy sleeves

Most floral blouses are either too precious or too stiff, built around a fitted silhouette that demands constant tucking and smoothing. This one starts from a different premise: volume that moves with you, a tie closure you can adjust, and fabric that holds its shape without feeling starched. The crisscross bodice gives it definition without darts or seams that cut across the chest, and the hand-printed pattern means the flowers don't look stamped on. If you've been looking for a blouse that feels more like getting dressed and less like putting on a costume, the artisan printing and billowy cut make this worth the extra care it asks for in the wash.

Good gift when

The details

This blouse moves away from the fitted-and-tucked template. The silhouette is loose and airy, with full sleeves that gather at button cuffs and a shape that skims rather than clings. A crisscross bodice wraps across the front and closes with tassel ties, adding structure to an otherwise relaxed cut.

The fabric is a cotton cambric and poplin blend, which gives it body without stiffness. Each piece is hand screen-printed by artisans in India using the Valley Garden pattern, a floral print in Midnight Sky. The print is applied by hand, so subtle variation is part of the process.

At 24 inches long on a size small, this hits around mid-hip on most wearers. The bodice tie allows for some adjustment in fit across the chest and waist. Full sleeves balance the volume, and the button cuffs let you wear them down or rolled partway up.

You can wash it on a delicate cycle with similar colors and tumble dry on low to keep it from shrinking. The style works layered over a camisole or worn on its own, depending on how much coverage you prefer across the neckline. It's designed in Philadelphia and made by hand overseas, with sizing that runs true to standard measurements.
