Does the blouse run true to size?

It is a stretch knit, so it follows the body rather than hanging loose. Shoppers who want a relaxed fit often size up; those who want it tucked and fitted stay with their usual size.

Is the fabric see-through?

The knit is fairly opaque, but the light natural color can show a dark bra underneath in bright light. A nude or matching underlayer solves it.

How should I care for it?

The polyester-elastane blend washes well on cold and holds its shape. Skip high heat in the dryer, which can relax the shirring and the puff sleeves.

Can I wear it to an office?

Yes, under a blazer or cardigan it reads as business casual. On its own the puff sleeves and soft knit lean casual.

What is the sleeve length?

It is a full long sleeve, gathered at the shoulder into the puff and fitted from the upper arm down.

Does it work for layering in cold weather?

It layers under a jacket or vest, but the polyester knit is not a warm base layer on its own.

Our take on the Rafaella Long-Sleeve Puff-Sleeve Blouse

A crew-neck blouse in a polyester-elastane knit with shirring across the front and gathered puff sleeves. The stretch fabric and simple pull-on shape make it an easy everyday top, and the shirring adds texture without prints or hardware. It sits in the same casual tier as other Rafaella knits, but the puff sleeve gives it more shape than a plain long-sleeve tee. Shoppers who want a structured woven blouse will find it soft and clingy instead.
