DONNA | Ruffled front blouse to wear under a jacket

It goes under my jacket without a single lump at the shoulder. That is all I ever wanted.

Anyone who has worn a blazer over a detailed blouse knows the specific misery of it. The ruffle bunches at the armhole, something gathers under the lapel, and you spend the meeting aware of a ridge across your back. So the detailed blouses stay for evenings and the workdays get done in plain knit. Donna was cut to go underneath something.

The silhouette is smooth and relaxed with clean lines, so there is no volume anywhere a jacket would sit. The ruffle is confined to the V-neckline and the front, which is the one area that stays visible above a lapel, and it is where the interest is needed anyway. The long sleeves are narrow enough to slide into a jacket sleeve and roll back when the jacket comes off.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• All the detail is at the front. The ruffle sits where a jacket leaves the blouse showing, so the interesting part is the part people see and the rest stays flat.
• No bulk at the shoulder. Clean lines through the body and a narrow sleeve mean a blazer or a coat goes over it without bunching or ridging.
• It survives a whole day. The relaxed cut does not tighten as the day goes on, which is what you want between a nine o'clock meeting and a six o'clock train.
• Five colors for a work rotation. Pink, white, green, blue and black, which is enough to get through a week without repeating.

How it fits

Donna is a relaxed fit with clean lines and runs true to size, in S through 3XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because a blouse that is snug under a jacket is the one you take off at lunchtime. The size chart has the flat measurements in inches.

I still work three days a week and this has quietly become the uniform.

Under a blazer you only see the front, and the front is the pretty part. Clever.

No creasing across the back after a day in the car.
