Frequently Asked Questions
What is a keyhole back detail?
A keyhole back is a small, shaped opening — typically oval or circular — at the upper back of a garment, often fastened with a button. It creates an elegant, slightly alluring reveal at the back that adds visual interest and a distinctive detail without being revealing. Paired with the ruffled peplum front, it creates a beautifully multi-dimensional blouse.
Is the peplum very prominent?
The peplum creates a flattering, feminine flare from just below the waist — it's visible and a genuine feature of the silhouette, but designed to be elegantly proportioned rather than oversized. It adds beautiful volume and movement at the hip while remaining sophisticated.
What occasions is this blouse suited for?
The Elegant Ruffled Peplum Keyhole Back Blouse is ideal for smart-casual occasions, dinners, spring social events and any setting where you want to look elegantly distinctive and feminine.
Is the stretch comfortable for sitting and moving?
Yes — the 10% elastane provides significant stretch that accommodates all movement comfortably. The fabric adjusts naturally with the body, making this an excellent choice for occasions where you'll be sitting, standing and moving throughout the day or evening.

Customer Reviews
Really impressed with this purchase. Exactly what I wanted for everyday wear.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review – we really appreciate it.
Honestly one of my favourite buys recently. Exactly what I wanted for everyday wear. 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.
This is lovely feedback, thank you for sharing your experience.
Honestly one of my favourite buys recently. Super comfy and easy to style. This top feels very easy to dress up or down. I’ve worn it with simple trainers in the day and swapped to heeled boots and jewellery in the evening and it worked both times. It also layers nicely under coats without bunching up, which is ideal for UK weather. Overall it feels like something I’ll keep in my wardrobe for a long time.
We’re really glad this piece worked out for you – thanks for choosing us.

Absolutely obsessed with this top. 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.
