With softly blousoned sleeves, intricate lace panels and a loose, draped neckline, it has all the detail of a traditional Victoriana blouse but with a much more relaxed feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree lace panels run through the front. The centre panel is cleverly backed with linen, giving you coverage where you want it, while the two outer lace inserts are left delicately sheer, allowing just a little skin to show through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the back, a row of buttons finishes the blouse. They may look intricate, but they’re surprisingly easy to fasten. Rather than the high, close-fitting neckline traditionally associated with Victorian blouses, we’ve deliberately kept Victoria loose around the neck so that it falls softly, almost like a cowl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is generous and slightly longer in length, with plenty of room to drape. Wear it loose over trousers or denim, tuck it in, or let the lace and neckline peek out from underneath knitwear as the weather cools.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe linen itself is a lovely substantial weight rather than a fine, transparent summer linen. Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, it works beautifully through warmer weather but has enough weight to layer and wear throughout autumn and winter too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVictoria is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emade to order from limited deadstock linen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, so we only make what is actually wanted and quantities are naturally restricted by the fabric available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% deadstock linen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCotton lace detailing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong blouson sleeves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree lace panels through the front\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentre lace panel backed with linen for added coverage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSemi-sheer lace inserts either side\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoft, loose draped neckline\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eButton fastening through the back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenerous, longer-line body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade to order\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFIT \u0026amp; SIZING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVictoria comes in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eone size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and is designed with a loose, relaxed silhouette and plenty of room through the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe would suggest it for approximately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUK sizes 8–18\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, depending on how you like your clothes to fit.
