Flared-Sleeve Button Blouse

A fitted blouse with a sharp point collar and a nipped, corset-like waist shaped by a small gathered pinch at the center front button placket. The pinch sits right at the natural waist, so the silhouette narrows in sharply before releasing into the extended body below the hip. A front slit at the hem stops it from restricting stride despite the fitted cut, and the long sleeves flare dramatically into a wide, trumpet cuff at the wrist for a directional finish that reads more evening than daytime basic. Worn open over a camisole with tailored trousers, or buttoned to the top with a pencil skirt, the sharp collar and dramatic cuff carry the look either way.

A smooth woven fabric with a soft satin sheen and enough body to hold the flared cuff's shape without drooping. Hand wash cold or dry clean to protect the shaped waist seam and cuffs, since the pinched gathering at the front is more delicate than a flat seam and can pull under a hot machine cycle. Iron on a low setting from the reverse side to preserve the sheen, and press the cuffs flat while slightly damp to keep the trumpet shape crisp rather than limp.

The fitted, shaped construction is cut to skim the body without needing a separate belt or layering piece to define the waist, and the extended hem length means it can be worn over leggings or fitted trousers without an extra topper. Because the waist definition is built into the seaming rather than added hardware, there's nothing extra to manufacture or eventually replace.
