Balloon Sleeve Collared Neck Blouse — Fit & Measurements

How to measure (body)

Use a soft measuring tape and stand relaxed. Measure over underwear or a thin top for best fit. Keep the tape parallel to the floor for horizontal measurements.

• Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with arms relaxed at your sides.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist (usually above the belly button).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other across the back.
• Upper arm / bicep: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (where a sleeve seam sits) down to the wrist.
• Body length: Measure from the base of the back of your neck (centre back) down to where you want the hem to sit.

How to measure the garment (laid flat)

Lay the blouse flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.

• Chest (flat): Measure from armpit seam to armpit seam and multiply by 2 to get full circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the body and multiply by 2.
• Hem width (flat): Measure across the bottom hem and multiply by 2.
• Shoulder width (flat): Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve length (flat): Measure from shoulder seam to cuff. For balloon sleeves, also measure the widest point of the sleeve (bicep/upper sleeve) flat and multiply by 2.
• Body length (flat): Measure from centre-back neckline seam to hem.

Tip: Record measurements in both centimetres and inches for easy comparison with size charts.

Materials & Construction

The Balloon Sleeve Collared Neck Blouse is typically crafted from lightweight, drapey fabrics chosen to give volume to the sleeves while keeping the body comfortable. Common fabric options and what to expect from each:

• Viscose / Rayon: Soft, fluid drape and a smooth hand. Breathable and comfortable; may wrinkle and usually requires gentle washing.
• Polyester / Polyester blends: Durable, low-crease and easy-care. Holds structure well (helpful for balloon sleeve shapes) and dries quickly.
• Cotton / Cotton blends: Natural and breathable. Can be crisp or soft depending on weave; may shrink with high-heat washing/tumble drying.
• Chiffon / Georgette: Lightweight and sheer with a floaty feel; often lined and best handled with delicate care.
• Silk / Silk blends: Luxurious drape and sheen; often labeled dry-clean only or requiring very gentle care.

Construction notes: collars are commonly interfaced for shape, sleeves may have elasticated or tailored cuffs to create the balloon silhouette, and trims typically include resin, shell or metal buttons. For exact composition and trim details, consult the product details panel or the care label on the garment.

Care Guide — To Keep It Lovely Longer

• Follow the garment care label first.
• When the label allows, wash on a gentle or delicate cold cycle, or hand wash. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Turn the blouse inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and any decorative trims.
• Use a mesh laundry bag for delicate fabrics or detailed sleeves to reduce snagging.
• Reshape while damp and hang to dry or lay flat for knits. Avoid high heat tumble drying to prevent shrinkage and damage to sleeve volume.
• Iron on low-medium heat inside out, or use a steamer to smooth wrinkles without flattening the sleeve profile. For silk or very delicate fabrics, prefer professional dry cleaning if recommended.
• Store on a hanger with enough room for the sleeves, or fold carefully to avoid creasing at the sleeve fullness. Button the top button to help the collar keep its shape.
• Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp jewelry to prevent snags; treat stains promptly following fabric-appropriate guidance.

Style Tips

• Balance volume: Pair the blouse with fitted bottoms (skinny jeans, tailored trousers, pencil skirts) so the balloon sleeves remain the focal point.
• Tuck or half-tuck: Tucking into high-waisted pieces defines the waist and creates a polished silhouette.
• Layering: Add a structured blazer, sleeveless vest or fitted jacket to introduce shape while still showcasing sleeve detailing at the cuff.
• Neckline accessories: An open collar works well with short necklaces or layered chains; button up and add a brooch for a dressed-up look.
• Day to night: For daytime, pair with loafers or ankle boots; for evening, tuck into a satin or leather skirt and add heels.
• Sleeve hacks: Push sleeves up slightly or create a soft roll to show the wrist and add a casual touch while preserving the sleeve’s silhouette.
