Ottilie - Pussy-Bow Peplum Blouse
Description
A Tie-Neck Blouse Built On A 1950s Block
The Ottilie is cut the way blouses were cut before they got loose. A stand collar carries a long self-fabric tie that knots into a full bow at the throat; the body is darted close through the waist and released into a short pleated peplum. Flutter cap sleeves sit over the shoulder rather than round it. In mustard yellow it is a period piece that still works with a plain black trouser.

Key Features
- Pussy-bow neck tie: A long self-fabric tie - knot it full, or leave it hanging.
- Flutter cap sleeves: Short petal sleeves that fall over the shoulder.
- Darted waist: Shaped front and back, closest at the natural waist.
- Pleated peplum hem: Releases below the waist into a short flared skirt.
- Button front: Small plain buttons the length of the placket.
- Stand collar: Sits up at the neck under the bow.

Material & Fabric
Smooth matte woven fabric with a little give.
Care
Hand wash cold, cool iron.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours. Do not bleach. Hang to dry — a tumble dryer shortens the life of the fabric. Cool iron if needed.
