The taffeta-like fabric gives this blouse a dressy vibe but it's got some stretch that makes it so comfy. The faux wrap front has beautiful rhinstone buttons, which are also on the cuffs to complete the look. My dress form is sized at a 14, and this top is a 10, but it stretches enough to fit nicely. There is a zipper in the center of the back that zips down rather than up, so the shawl collar remains beautifully standing. It's a lovely old-world, classy look for your holiday parties.
