Satin Crest Blouse

Satin with a soft, heavy drape rather than a stiff shine — it falls from the shoulder and gathers at the cuff instead of holding a shape of its own.

Loose satin sits better on most people than a fitted shirt, and it presses flat without a fight, which is more than silk manages.

The fabric

A heavy satin with a matte-ish face, so it reads as expensive rather than shiny. The crest motif is the only pattern on it.

How it fits

Sized M–L, cut loose through the body and long enough to tuck or to leave out.

Looking after it

Cold delicate wash inside a mesh bag, or dry clean. Hang it damp and most creases drop out on their own; if they do not, a cool iron on the reverse with a cloth between. Keep perfume off the fabric, which marks satin faster than anything.

For petite clothes for work a loose satin blouse sits better than a fitted shirt, and it is the chic dress to impress answer for an evening that follows a working day — a korean fashion for women staple that outlasts a season.
