MAUDE | Chiffon V-neck layering blouse

It goes under the cardigan without adding a single bump. I have been looking for that.

Half the year is spent putting something on over something else, and the layer underneath is the one nobody plans. So it ends up being whichever blouse was nearest, and then the cardigan sits oddly at the shoulder, or the sleeves bunch at the elbow, or the whole arrangement is too warm within an hour. Maude was built to be the layer underneath and to hold up on its own when the cardigan comes off.

The chiffon is genuinely lightweight, so there is almost nothing to it when a second layer goes on top, and it breathes rather than trapping warmth. The cut is oversized and drapes, which means it slides under a sleeve instead of catching in it. The V-neckline stays visible above a cardigan, so the outfit still has an opening at the front rather than a closed wall of knit.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• It disappears under a layer. Chiffon this light adds no bulk at the shoulder or the elbow, which is why a cardigan sits properly over it.
• The V stays on show. The neckline sits above a buttoned cardigan, so the front of the outfit still has a line running down it.
• Oversized, so it drapes. The relaxed shape falls away from the body, which keeps it from clinging when the outer layer comes off in a warm room.
• Eight solid colors. White, black, blue, light blue, red, yellow, gray and green, all plain, which is what a layering piece needs to be.

How it fits

Maude is cut oversized, so it already runs generous. It comes in S through 3XL. Take your usual size if you want the relaxed look shown, and if you are between two sizes go up rather than down, since the drape is what makes it work. Chiffon is light, so if you want it to wear on its own you may want something underneath. The size chart has the flat measurements in inches.

A few recent reviews

I have four of them now in four colors. They all live under cardigans.

It is light, so I wear a camisole with the white one. With the navy I do not bother.

Nothing bunches at my elbow when I put a sweater over it. First time in years.
