Belle Poque Summer Short Sleeve Office Button Down Blouse Stripe Shirt Tops with Bow Tie BP573

Let me just say, I *love* this blouse. This particular style looks almost exactly like one I’ve been longing for from a vintage reproduction brand but at a fraction of the cost. I was a little worried about ordering it because of some of the reviews, but I am so glad I did. I looked at the size chart and ordered my regular size XL. I prefer more form-fitted tops and didn’t want to risk it being too baggy. Fits perfectly with enough room to be comfortable, and no gaps between the buttons. It flatters an “hourglass” figure really well, the darting is fantastic and makes it still fitted enough to look professional. I do have a larger hip/lower stomach so I left the bottom button undone but I always tuck in my tops anyway so that doesn’t matter much to me personally! The sleeves are so cute and actually quite comfortable. Other reviews complained about them, but I wore this to work in the service industry and had no problems moving around easily. Got so many compliments on the red/burgundy! The material is very soft, “flouncy” and has a very good amount of stretch. Very high quality and versatile piece, but won’t break the bank. I ordered 6 different colors already and will absolutely be ordering more.

I really like this blouse - it is very flattering and the tie neck looks so stylish and fun. With so many meetings now being on Zoom, etc., it is nice to have a dressy top. I found it runs slightly small, so consider sizing up. I ordered the nude color, and I am so happy with the shade - it is not too light or too dark and it is also not see-through or sheer, which is nice so I don't have to wear a tank top under. The material also has a little stretch to it, making it very comfortable. I get a lot of compliments on this one, and I'll definitely be ordering in another color.

I loved this blouse so much! Very cute and can be worn dressed up or down. Reminds me of a 50’s style shirt.

Love love love the color! There are darts below the chest to give the shirt a more fitted silhouette. It's very flattering. It runs just a bit large, but not enough for me to size down. For reference I usually wear an XL/XXL (16/18) and have a 42DD chest. And it was still flattering on me! The collar is also flattering. The bow lays nicely and there's actually buttons all the way up so it doesn't flop around or hand awkwardly. The puff sleeves are wear it runs a little large near the armpit area. There is no elastic on the sleeve end so they slide up a bit on me, making the shoulder/armpit area puff out a bit. Overall, gorgeous shirt! It was exactly what I was looking for and is a very flattering fit.

Runs very small. I normally wear a 2x but I have lost 20lbs. Ordered 2x and XL. The 2x is more like a large. Keeping the larger one because I like it and can wear a sweater over it until I lose a few more lbs.

Nice quality and fit. I like the way it looks without the bow tie too.

Great quality! Fits well, nice material, looks great.

Style is nice, fabric not a favorite. This shirt fits well and the measurements are accurate, its nicely fitted and well made. The fabric itself is a woven fabric and has some stretch because it has some elastane in it. I subtracted 1 star because this fabric looks and feels a bit plasticky and shiny, which makes this shirt look a bit cheap. I have other clothes from Belle Poque and they too are mostly polyester with a little viscose in them , which both feels and looks much nicer. Not a bad shirt and absolutely easy to take care of but this one is not my favorite.

Tout est parfait. Merci beaucoup
