Plaid Exposed Seam Long Sleeve Blouse — Product Details

How to measure the garment

To check fit before purchase or to confirm dimensions of a received blouse, measure the garment laid flat on a hard surface. Use a soft measuring tape and keep the fabric relaxed (do not stretch).

1. Tools: cloth tape measure, flat surface, a friend to help for accuracy (optional).
2. Flat vs circumference: Most measurements below are taken flat (across the front). For circumference, multiply flat widths by 2.
3. Chest / Bust: Smooth the blouse flat. Measure straight across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from side seam to side seam. Multiply by 2 for chest circumference.
4. Waist: Measure across the narrowest point of the blouse body (or at the garment's labeled waistline) and multiply by 2.
5. Hip / Hem: Measure across the bottom hem (or about 6–8" / 15–20 cm below the waist depending on cut) and multiply by 2 for full hip circumference.
6. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
7. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If the blouse has a raglan or no defined shoulder seam, measure from the center back neck to the end of the cuff for total sleeve length.
8. Front / Back length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) down to the hem for front length; from center back neck down for back length.
9. Cuff opening: Measure flat across the cuff opening and multiply by 2 for circumference.

Quick conversions: 1 in = 2.54 cm. For consistent results, measure to the nearest 0.5 cm (or 1/4 in).

Materials (typical for this style)

Fabric: Brushed plaid flannel — commonly a cotton/polyester blend (example: 60% cotton / 40% polyester). Construction: exposed/raw seam detailing reinforced with polyester thread; unlined. Trim: standard resin or corozo buttons (varies by batch).

Properties: soft hand, medium weight, light nap (brushed finish), good color retention and easy care thanks to the polyester content. The exposed seam detail gives a relaxed, slightly lived-in aesthetic — avoid aggressive pressing to preserve the look.

Note: Exact fiber content and trims can vary by production run—always check the sewn-in care/content label on your garment for definitive information.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

• Always check the garment label first and follow any specific instructions printed there.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash to protect the brushed finish and exposed seams.
• Turn the blouse inside out and fasten buttons before washing to reduce abrasion on the surface and trim.
• Wash with like colors; avoid mixing with heavy zippers or abrasive items that could snag exposed seams.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and avoid overuse of fabric softeners (they can reduce fabric breathability and affect finishes).
• For extra protection, place the blouse in a mesh laundry bag when washing in a machine.
• Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Tumble dry low only if the label permits, and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling.
• Iron on low heat inside out or use a steamer. Avoid pressing the exposed seams flat if you want to keep the textured/raw detail.
• Spot-treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover suitable for colored fabrics, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
• Store folded or on padded/wide hangers to prevent shoulder distortion; avoid overcrowding to prevent snagging of exposed seam details.
• For persistent stains or to preserve color and finish, professional dry cleaning is an option—refer to the care label.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: Wear untucked over skinny jeans or leggings with white sneakers for an effortless look. Roll the cuffs once to show a relaxed cuff vibe.
• Work-friendly: Tuck into high-waisted tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and add a structured blazer; swap sneakers for loafers or low heels.
• Layering: Let the collar and hem peek from under a sweater vest or pullover, or wear over a thin turtleneck for extra warmth and texture contrast.
• Edge it up: Knot the front hem and pair with a leather mini or coated jeans and heeled ankle boots for a night-out look.
• Accessory cues: A slim waist belt defines shape; choose warm-metal jewelry (gold, brass) or matte silver depending on the plaid tones. Crossbody bags and structured totes both work well.
• Color pairing: Neutral bottoms (black, navy, camel) always pair easily; pull an accent color from the plaid for jackets or shoes to feel coordinated.
• Fit advice: For an oversized, slouchy silhouette size up and keep bottoms fitted; for a polished silhouette, wear true to size and tuck or half-tuck.

Quick outfit ideas: weekend — blouse + distressed denim + sneakers; office — blouse tucked into tapered trousers + loafers; evening — blouse tied or tucked + leather skirt + heeled boots.

Reminder: verify exact fabric content and care instructions on the sewn-in label before laundering or altering the garment.
