Balloon Sleeve Smocked Waist Blouse

A lightly textured woven fabric gives this top a soft crepe hand that skims the body rather than clinging to it. Full balloon sleeves gather into narrow smocked cuffs, and a wide band of shirring pulls the hem in at the natural waist so the volume above it stays deliberate. The neckline is left plain and round, which keeps the focus on the sleeves. Wear it with black jeans and boots, or tuck a slim belt over the shirred waist. Six shades include a small cherry print alongside the plain colours.
