Frequently Asked Questions
What is ricrac trim?
Ricrac (also spelled rickrack) is a flat, zigzag braid used as a decorative trim on clothing and textiles. It has a distinctive wave-like shape that adds a sweet, folkloric, handcrafted character to garments. It's particularly associated with bohemian, Southern and vintage-inspired fashion.
How do the ruffle layers move when you wear this blouse?
The layered tiers are cut from lightweight, flowing polyester that moves beautifully with your body. Each ruffle layer catches any breeze and creates a graceful, fluid movement that looks elegant whether you're walking, dancing or simply going about your day.
What occasions is this blouse suited for?
The Blue Layered Ricrac Trim Blouse is perfect for summer casual days, garden parties, holidays, brunches and any warm-weather occasion where you want to look joyfully distinctive and effortlessly feminine. The playful ruffle tiers and ricrac trim give it a celebratory spirit.
Is the blue very bright or more of a mid-tone?
The beau blue is a fresh, mid-toned blue — brighter than slate or dusty blue but softer than a vivid cobalt or electric blue. It's a universally flattering shade that works beautifully against all skin tones and pairs easily with white, cream, tan and denim.
