🔮 How to Determine Your Perfect Fit

Step 1: Measure Your Bust
Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Make sure it's snug but not tight.

Step 2: Measure Your Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, typically just above your belly button. Keep the tape comfortably snug.

Step 3: Measure Blouse Length
Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you'd like the blouse to end. This shirt typically falls at hip length.

Step 4: Measure Sleeve Length
Measure from the center back of your neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist. The puff sleeves add romantic volume while maintaining comfortable length.

Step 5: Consider Your Fit Preference
Regular fit: Choose your true size based on measurements for the intended comfortable fit
Relaxed fit: Size up one size if you prefer a looser, more flowing silhouette
Fitted look: Stick with your true size—the fabric will conform to your body comfortably
Between sizes: If measurements fall between sizes, size up for comfort
Puff sleeve consideration: The romantic puff sleeves add Victorian elegance without restricting movement

Step 6: Check Your Usual Blouse Size
This shirt runs true to size. If you typically wear a Medium in blouses, stick with Medium here. The fabric has a comfortable fit designed to flatter all body types while the puff sleeves and pleated details create an elegantly beautiful statement.
