Rock a retro-vibe with a modern curve-friendly fit with the Swanton Blouse! The Swanton features princess seams in cup sizes C-H, shoulder yokes with gentle gathers, a chic covered button placket, and fisheye darts for back definition. Use the short banded puff sleeves, or mix and match with the two sleeve options of the Vernon Shirt for even more looks.

And last—but certainly not least!—choose from a dramatic full pussy bow, narrow necktie, or a chic and simple collar band. Whether you want a full-on vintage look or a classic blouse, the Swanton’s calling your name.
