Overlapping side buttoned pleated crewneck cotton rayon blouse

• Origin:  Made in Korea.

• Material:  A high-grade Cotton-Rayon Technical Blend; curated for its superior structural memory, soft hand-feel, and excellent breathability.

• The Cut:  A relaxed yet tailored sleeveless silhouette featuring a classic crewneck and a precision-engineered overlapping pleated hem.

• Key Features:  Directional pleat detailing for enhanced volume and movement, discreet tonal stitching, and a clean-finish interior for ultimate skin comfort.

• Texture:  Smooth and substantial with a refined "dry" softness—engineered to hold its architectural shape while maintaining a light, airy presence.

• To preserve the delicate ruffle structure and the liquid-soft Lyocell fibers:

• The Wash:  Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. This is critical to prevent the ruffle trims from snagging and to ensure the Lyocell maintains its original luster without pilling.

• The Dry:  Hang to air dry on a broad, padded hanger in the shade. Avoid the tumble dryer, as high heat can cause the pure Lyocell fibers to become brittle and lose their characteristic rhythmic movement.

• The Refresh:  Use a handheld steamer to quickly release surface wrinkles and "plump" the ruffle trims. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting on the reverse side to protect the fabric's delicate finish.

To preserve the architectural pleats and the integrity of the cotton-rayon blend:

• The Wash:  Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. This is essential to prevent the overlapping pleats from being over-agitated and to ensure the rayon fibers maintain their smooth finish.

• The Dry:  Lay flat to dry on a clean towel. Avoid hanging this top while wet, as the weight of the water can stretch the shoulder seams and distort the alignment of the precision-pressed pleats.

• The Refresh:  Use a handheld steamer to quickly release surface wrinkles and "plump" the volume of the pleats. If ironing is necessary, use a medium-low setting on the reverse side to protect the matte-satin finish of the fabric.

The structural complexity of this pleated top makes it a perfect partner for sharp, streamlined bottoms. For a sophisticated professional ensemble, pair it with the Japan Handcrafted High-Rise Flared Trousers in Midnight Navy—the contrast between the anthracite pleats and the deep navy flare creates a beautifully balanced, modern proportion.

If you are aiming for a more textural, urban look, style it with the Japan Handcrafted Tencel-Linen Fluid Midi Skirt in Sandshell Beige. The interplay between the structured top and the fluid skirt offers a high-concept, curated aesthetic. Complete the outfit with the Paris Handcrafted Suede and Sheepskin Pointy Flats in Midnight Onyx and the 999 Fine Silver Petal Studs for a final note of artisanal precision.
