⚠️ Important Sizing Note: This item follows Asian sizing standards and runs 1-2 sizes smaller than standard US sizing. We strongly recommend sizing up for the best fit. If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, choose the larger size. When in doubt, refer to the detailed measurements below rather than your usual letter size.

Fit Tips:

• Measure your bust: Use the chest circumference measurement as your primary guide. Measure around the fullest part of your bust and compare to the chart.

• Length reference: This blouse hits at hip length on most body types, providing flattering coverage that pairs perfectly with high-waisted trousers or skirts.

Styling Q&A

Q: How long does shipping take?

A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.

Q: I usually wear a US size Medium. What size should I order?

A: Because this item follows Asian sizing, we recommend ordering at least one size up from your usual US size. A US Medium would typically order a Large or XL. Always compare your measurements to our size chart – chest circumference is the most important measurement for this pullover style.

Q: Is this blouse too dressy for a casual office environment?

A: Not at all! While the pleated detail adds elegance, this blouse works beautifully in both formal and business casual settings. Pair it with tailored trousers for more formal days, or dress it down with jeans and flats for relaxed office environments. The simple round neck and clean lines keep it versatile.

Q: Can I wear this without tucking it in?

A: Absolutely. This blouse is designed to look polished both tucked and untucked. The hip-length hem provides flattering coverage when worn loose over trousers or skirts, while the pleated front maintains structure. For a more defined silhouette, try a half-tuck or full tuck with high-waisted bottoms.

Q: Will the pleats lose their shape after washing?

A: The polyester fabric holds pleats very well through washing. For best results, wash on a gentle cold cycle and either hang to dry or tumble dry on low. If pleats need refreshing, a quick press with a warm iron will restore their crisp appearance. The low-maintenance fabric is ideal for busy professionals.

Q: Which color is most versatile for a work wardrobe?

A: White, black, and dark blue are the most classic and versatile options that coordinate with any professional wardrobe. White is crisp and fresh for spring/summer, black is timelessly sophisticated, and dark blue offers rich depth. Apricot and green are beautiful choices if you want to add subtle color while remaining office-appropriate.

Q: How does the neckline sit – is it too high or too low for professional settings?

A: The round neckline is perfectly positioned for professional wear – not too high (which can feel restrictive) and not too low (maintaining workplace appropriateness). It sits at the collarbone, creating a clean, polished look that's comfortable for all-day wear and pairs beautifully with delicate necklaces or worn alone.
