FAQs
What is the best way to style this blouse for work?
Pair it with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt; the ruffle neck adds a professional, polished finish that looks great under a blazer.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
As with many quality garments, we recommend cold water washing and avoiding tumble drying to prevent any potential shrinkage.
Can I wear this blouse tucked in?
Yes, the soft silhouette is designed to drape well when tucked into high-waisted bottoms, though it looks equally stylish worn loose.
Does the blouse have a lot of stretch?
The blouse is made from a soft-textured fabric rather than a high-stretch material, providing a structured yet comfortable fit.
How do I maintain the shape of the ruffle neck?
Avoid wringing the fabric after washing. Gently shake it out and lay it flat to dry to ensure the ruffles retain their volume.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam the garment or use a cool iron on the reverse side to smooth out the fabric without flattening the decorative pin tucks.
Button placket feels slightly loose
Ensure the buttons are fully secured and check that the buttonholes are free of stray threads which can accumulate through regular wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lea Blouse, always check the internal care label before washing. Due to the pin tuck detailing and the ruffle neckline, it is highly recommended to wash the blouse in a delicate cycle or hand wash in cool water to prevent snagging or distortion. Avoid using strong chemical bleaches. When drying, reshape the item while damp and lay it flat or hang it to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the richness of the red dye. Ironing should be done on a low heat setting, preferably inside out to protect the pin tucks.
