FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the smocked bodice provides significant elasticity, while the rest of the blouse offers the standard comfortable fit of a cotton-blend material.
Does the blouse run true to size?
The blouse is designed with a regular fit; however, due to the smocked bodice, it typically accommodates a range of sizes comfortably within the XL category.
Can I machine wash this item?
Yes, machine washing on a cold, gentle cycle is recommended. Using a mesh laundry bag will help protect the garment during the cycle.
What should I wear underneath?
The fabric is opaque, so it can be worn comfortably without an undershirt, though a nude-colored bra is recommended for the best aesthetic result.
How should I store this blouse?
It is best stored on a hanger to keep the ruffles at the hem from becoming permanently creased, ensuring it is ready to wear.
Troubleshooting
Smocked bodice feels too tight
The elastic is designed to be form-fitting. Try wearing the garment for a few hours to allow the heat of your body to help the fabric and elastic relax naturally.
Wrinkles on the peplum hem
Use a handheld garment steamer from a short distance to gently release wrinkles without crushing the ruffled fabric.
Fabric looks dull after multiple washes
Ensure you are using a detergent specifically formulated for cotton-blends and avoid bleach, which can degrade the fibers and affect the color consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stradivarius blouse, proper garment care is essential. Since the blouse features a delicate smocked bodice, it is recommended to wash it in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the elastic from catching on other garments. Always use a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the integrity of the cotton-blend fabric. Avoid using a high-heat tumble dry; instead, lay the item flat or hang it to dry to prevent shrinking and preserve the shape of the ruffles. When ironing, use a low-heat setting and avoid applying direct, intense pressure to the smocked section to prevent stretching out the elastic thread.
