Summer Blouse

*The Bluebell Tie-Front Peplum Top - Denim & Ditsy Floral - Size Inclusive 14/16 Styled*

Our favourite cottage-core meets everyday wear. The Bluebell Tie-Front Top is sweet, flattering, and made for real life. Featuring a beautiful contrast of solid denim-look blue and soft blue & yellow ditsy floral, this top gives you shape, coverage, and that lovely handmade boutique feel.

As modelled by our size 14/16 beauty - this top is designed to celebrate curves.

*The Design Details - Exactly As You See In The Photo:*

*1. Flattering Contrast Bodice:* The top section is made from a solid washed denim-blue fabric with a subtle sheen. This darker panel is incredibly slimming and gives structure through the bust and shoulders, while the V-neckline elongates your neck and is so flattering.

*2. Sweet Puff Sleeves:* Short, slightly puffed sleeves in the pretty bluebell floral - tiny yellow and cream flowers on a soft periwinkle blue base. The sleeves give gorgeous coverage on the upper arm (no tightness) and that romantic, feminine cottage feel. They sit just on the edge of the shoulder, not too short.

*3. Front Tie Detail:* The standout feature. Three delicate ties made from the floral fabric down the centre front, creating a wrap-style effect. You can tie them as tight or loose as you like, adjust the coverage, and create a beautiful gathered shape. This tie-front makes it breastfeeding friendly and adjustable for different bust sizes. It also creates a lovely vertical line that is super flattering.

*4. Peplum Gathered Hem:* Below the denim yoke, the fabric gathers into a soft, flowy peplum in the ditsy floral. This skims beautifully over the tummy, hips and waist - no clinging. It gives you that hourglass peplum shape that is so loved in size 14/16 because it cinches under the bust and then floats. The bottom is not too long, so it works perfectly tucked or untucked with jeans.

*Fabric:* Lightweight, breathable cotton-blend. The solid blue has a slight chambray / light denim feel, the floral is a soft cotton poplin. Both are cool for summer, non-stretch but cut with plenty of ease.

*Fit & Sizing - True To Size and Generous:*
This style is cut generously for a comfortable fit.

- *With Jeans:* As pictured, pair with your favourite mid-blue straight-leg jeans and sneakers or sandals for an easy everyday boutique look. Perfect for coffee, work, or weekends in Tauranga.

- *Dressed Up:* Tuck into dark wash jeans or a denim skirt with wedges. Add gold hoops - the yellow in the floral picks up gold jewellery so nicely.

- *Summer Shorts:* Looks cute with white or denim shorts and tan slides.

- *Layering:* Wear open over a white singlet in summer for a vest-style look, or with a long sleeve tee underneath in winter.

*Why Our Customers Love It:*

It's the perfect top when you want to feel covered but still feminine. The arm coverage is ideal if you don't love sleeveless, the V-neck is not too low, and the peplum gives confidence around the tummy area. It's handmade with love in limited numbers, so you're not going to see everyone else wearing it.

Hand wash cold or gentle machine wash cold. Hang dry.
