- Is the voile see-through?
- Light-colored cotton voile is semi-sheer, especially in direct sun. Plan on a nude or matching camisole underneath, or wear it buttoned over a tank.
- How does the sizing run?
- The fit is regular, but sleeveless Lauren blouses often run snug at the armholes and shoulders. If you are between sizes or broad-shouldered, size up.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang or line dry to protect the embroidery. Tumble drying on low is fine, but expect to iron or steam the voile afterward.
- Is it worth full price?
- At full price it is a splurge for a cotton blouse. It is a better buy on clearance or with a department-store coupon, which is when this line usually drops most.
- What can I wear it with?
- It pairs with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for work and with jeans or linen shorts on weekends. Layer a blazer or cardigan over it in cooler weather.
