Floral Smocked Peplum Balloon Sleeve Blouse Women UK | Boho
The Boho Blouse That Has Its Own Distinctive Silhouette
Light, airy and full of free-spirited personality — the Floral Smocked Peplum Balloon Sleeve Blouse is a warm-weather piece that makes an impression through considered design rather than bold colour. A delicate floral print in soft sky blue covers lightweight polyester, while a smocked chest panel, a distinctive peplum hem and dramatic balloon sleeves create a three-detail silhouette that's genuinely unlike anything in a standard wardrobe.

What is a peplum hem?
A peplum is a short, flared overskirt or flounce attached at the waist of a blouse, creating a flattering, feminine dimension that adds volume at the hip while emphasising the waist. It's a consistently flattering silhouette choice that works beautifully for all body types.
What are balloon sleeves?
Balloon sleeves are long sleeves gathered significantly at both the shoulder and cuff to create a rounded, inflated shape between the two gathering points. The dramatic volume is the defining feature — they add significant visual interest and a fashion-forward, romantic character to any blouse.
