{"product_id":"womens-linen-v-neck-lantern-sleeve-blouse-retro-button-down","title":"Women's Linen V-Neck Lantern Sleeve Blouse – Loose Retro Button-Down Top","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Problem with Ordinary Blouses: Forgettable in a Sea of Sameness\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost blouses do their job adequately — they cover, they fit, they wash. But they rarely do anything more than that. They don't make you feel anything when you put them on. They don't attract a second glance. They exist in the wardrobe as functional items rather than pieces you genuinely look forward to wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Women's Linen V-Neck Lantern Sleeve Blouse is a different proposition entirely. It is a top with genuine character — a piece that earns its place in your wardrobe not just by being useful, but by being genuinely beautiful to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Lantern Sleeve: A Design Detail That Changes Everything\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lantern sleeve is one of the most elegant and distinctive sleeve styles in women's fashion. Named for its resemblance to a traditional paper lantern, it features a gathered, voluminous shape that billows gently from the shoulder and tapers at the wrist or mid-arm, creating a dramatic, sculptural silhouette that is simultaneously romantic and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn this blouse, the lantern sleeve adds a dimension of visual interest that transforms what could be a simple linen top into a genuine statement piece. The volume of the sleeve creates a beautiful contrast with the clean, fitted V-neck and the relaxed body of the blouse. It is a design that photographs exceptionally well and looks equally striking in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe retro quality of the lantern sleeve is part of its appeal. It references a long tradition of feminine dressing — the kind of sleeve that appears in vintage fashion photography and period costume — while feeling entirely contemporary in the context of modern linen dressing. It is nostalgic without being costume-like, romantic without being fussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLinen: The Fabric That Earns Its Place in Every Season\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cotton-linen blend of this blouse delivers the breathability and natural texture that makes linen the definitive warm-weather fabric, combined with the softness and ease of cotton. The hollow fibre structure of linen allows air to circulate freely through the fabric, keeping the body cool even when the sleeves are full and voluminous. The natural moisture-wicking properties of linen draw perspiration away from the skin and release it through evaporation, keeping you feeling fresh throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe button-down front adds a practical element that also contributes to the retro aesthetic of the blouse. You can wear it fully buttoned for a more polished, structured look, or open the top buttons for a relaxed, casual feel. The V-neck neckline creates an elongating, flattering effect that works across a wide range of body shapes and necklines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyling a Lantern Sleeve Blouse\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lantern sleeve blouse is a versatile piece that works across a wider range of occasions than its distinctive silhouette might suggest. Tuck it into high-waisted wide-leg trousers for a polished, editorial look. Pair it with tailored linen shorts for a smart-casual summer ensemble. Wear it with a midi skirt for a romantic, feminine outfit that works for everything from a garden party to a weekend lunch. The solid colour palette means it pairs effortlessly with patterned bottoms without clashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blouse is designed with a loose, relaxed fit. We recommend using AliExpress standard sizing as a guide. The fabric has no stretch, so accurate measurements are important. If you prefer a more generous drape through the body, size up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton-Linen Blend (Blended)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-Neck\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lantern Sleeve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short (4–16 inch)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Button-Down\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClothing Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattern Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Colour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElasticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-stretch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraft of Weaving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tatting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casual \/ Retro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Women\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 181–200g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elanique","offers":[{"title":"apricot \/ XXXL","offer_id":53364837515607,"sku":"14:201447514#apricot;5:4183","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"apricot \/ XXL","offer_id":53364837548375,"sku":"14:201447514#apricot;5:4182","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"apricot \/ M","offer_id":53364837581143,"sku":"14:201447514#apricot;5:361386","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ XXXL","offer_id":53364837613911,"sku":"14:496#Purple;5:4183","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"apricot \/ XL","offer_id":53364837646679,"sku":"14:201447514#apricot;5:100014065","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"apricot \/ L","offer_id":53364837679447,"sku":"14:201447514#apricot;5:361385","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"blue \/ M","offer_id":53364837712215,"sku":"14:173#blue;5:361386","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ L","offer_id":53364837744983,"sku":"14:496#Purple;5:361385","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ M","offer_id":53364837777751,"sku":"14:496#Purple;5:361386","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ XXL","offer_id":53364837810519,"sku":"14:496#Purple;5:4182","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ XL","offer_id":53364837843287,"sku":"14:496#Purple;5:100014065","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"blue \/ XL","offer_id":53364837876055,"sku":"14:173#blue;5:100014065","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"blue \/ L","offer_id":53364837908823,"sku":"14:173#blue;5:361385","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"blue \/ XXXL","offer_id":53364837941591,"sku":"14:173#blue;5:4183","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"blue \/ XXL","offer_id":53364837974359,"sku":"14:173#blue;5:4182","price":89.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/8463\/0103\/files\/S05310b0aa5aa468f806437478bfb8436O.webp?v=1779389621","url":"https:\/\/elanique.shop\/products\/womens-linen-v-neck-lantern-sleeve-blouse-retro-button-down","provider":"Elanique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
