Frequently Asked Questions
Is 100% cotton comfortable in hot weather?
Yes — cotton breathes naturally, wicks moisture and remains comfortable in warm weather better than synthetic alternatives. This makes it an excellent choice for summer holidays, outdoor occasions and warm days where you need natural breathability.
What occasions is this blouse suited for?
The Striped Balloon Sleeve Textured Blouse is ideal for summer holidays, garden parties, vibrant casual days and any warm-weather occasion where you want to look joyfully colourful and fashion-forward.
Are the stripe colours predominantly orange?
The stripes feature vibrant warm orange as the primary tone with complementary stripe colours — the combination creates a rich, sunset-inspired palette with genuine warmth and energy.
Do the balloon sleeves require special care?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, reshape while damp and hang to dry. The balloon shape is built into the sleeve construction and returns naturally without ironing.

Customer Reviews
This is such a good top. I was a bit unsure ordering online, but this top is genuinely lovely in person. The colour is rich, the cut is nice and it sits really well once it’s on. I’ve worn this top a few times now in different situations – running errands, meeting friends, even to the office – and it works every time. The fit is true to size on me, with enough room to layer underneath without feeling bulky. After a couple of washes it’s still holding its shape and colour, which I really appreciate.
Honestly one of my favourite buys recently. I was a bit unsure ordering online, but this top is genuinely lovely in person. The colour is rich, the cut is nice and it sits really well once it’s on.
Really impressed with this purchase. This is the kind of top you can throw on and instantly feel put-together. I’ve styled it with trainers and boots and it works both ways.
