cleo satin blouse

I usually find that when shopping for clothes, it is hardest to decide what size to buy when there are no reviews, so for reference I typically wear xs and 2xs in clothes here, depending on the fit I want. I am 21 years old, a 23 in the waist, 110lbs, 5’5, and a 32 C. I bought a 2xs and it fit very well. Any larger and I would have flashed someone with how low and loose the neckline would be! The 2xs worked well and I wasn’t too worried about wardrobe malfunctions. If you want to have complete ease of mind about the neckline throughout the day, I would suggest adding a tank top underneath (however I didn’t find it necessary). This top has a nice interior button sewn in to keep the top securely wrapped, and has a side tie detail that looks very feminine. This is a classy top, perfect for transition seasons (but also would do well in warmer months). This top pairs well with flowy cotton (or similar non-satin material) maxi skirts, or trousers like the agency or effortless pants. Would also look youthful with a tighter and/or shorter skirt and heels.

If you are worried about the white top being too transparent, it isn’t. I would wear skin tone underneath still as colours could show, but the nude bra that I wore worked perfectly and the top was not see-through at all. I also suggest a lower-set bra -if that makes sense- as anything too full-coverage would likely peek out at some point considering the semi-loose, slightly lower neckline.

Overall I love this top! So elegant and feminine, and great for a wide variety of occasions (everything from everyday wear to professional). I bought it to wear on the day I proposed to my bridesmaids, and have been wearing it to school, out for dinner & lunch, and once to a conference since then.
