BRENDA | Floral blouse with layered ruffle sleeves

There are ten of them and I sat there for twenty minutes deciding. That is a good problem.

Most printed blouses come in three colorways, and one of them is always the one you would have chosen if the other two did not exist. You order it anyway, and it is fine, and fine is where most of the closet already lives. Brenda comes in ten, which means for once the choice is actually yours to make.

The prints are floral and artistic rather than uniform, from pale blues through browns and beiges to black. The sleeves are layered ruffles, so there are soft tiers falling from the shoulder that move when you do. The body is relaxed and flowing in a lightweight breathable fabric, which keeps a decorated blouse from becoming a warm one.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Ten colorways of one cut. From floral blue and light blue through brown, beige and black, which means you can choose by what suits your skin rather than by what is left.
• The ruffles are layered, not single. Tiers falling from the shoulder create movement down the arm rather than one flat frill, which is what gives the blouse its softness.
• Light through the body. A breathable fabric under all that sleeve detail, so it stays wearable in warm weather rather than being saved for spring.
• It goes either way. With denim it reads casual, with tailored trousers it reads dressed, without anything changing about the blouse.

How it fits

Brenda is a relaxed, flowing fit and runs true to size, in S through 3XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because layered sleeves only fall properly when the shoulder seam is sitting where it should. The size chart has the flat measurements in inches.

A few recent reviews

I took the beige because it goes with everything, then went back for the dark blue.

The sleeves move beautifully. It is the first thing anyone says about it.

Lighter than it looks. I was expecting all those ruffles to be warm.
