Dressy White Blouses For Special Occasions
Dressy white blouses for special occasions
Our latest blog is dedicated to finding classy and dressy white blouses for any special occasion. Special occasions including weddings, interviews, birthdays, dates, nights out or those really important work events. Find the perfect blouse today that suits you and the occasion.
Wedding Blouses
If you are a guest at the wedding and have decided to opt for a blouse then we have three styles for you to consider.
Tulip Collar
Elegant and understated, our tulip collar blouses are a stylish option for any wedding. They have a grace and sophistication that make them ideal for such occasions. In addition to white we also offer black and blue. Pair with smart black jeans, a skirt of trousers.
Ruffle Front & Ruffle Neck Blouses
When it comes to dressy ruffle blouses we strongly believe in the philosophy that less is more. We offer our standard classic white blouse in two ruffle finishes. Either a ruffle front or ruffle neck and cuffs. Both are very feminine and are known for their equine heritage. A good option for a country or vintage wedding.
Lace Long Sleeve Blouse
Lace and weddings always go hand in hand. Like our women ruffle blouses we use the lace sparingly. In this case down each sleeve. The blouse really is special and finds that important balance between what is a good dressy white shirt without being too loud or showing off. A firm favourite amongst our discerning customers.
Those important work events / occasions
Pussy Bow Blouse
When it comes to a work event we have two stand out options for tops. First we have our ever popular white pussy bow blouse which makes a strong but feminine statement. The perfect choice if you mean business and was made famous by former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Classic White Shirt
Sometimes it is best to keep it simple with a classic ladies tailored blouse. However there is a huge difference between our classic white blouse and other brands. Features include darts in the back for a nice silhouette along with a split yoke for maximum comfort around the shoulders. Great for an evening out.
With all our white blouses we opt for a 97% cotton Oxford cloth with 3% elastane. This luxurious cloth is soft and drapes beautifully while offering stretch in just the right places. It makes our shirt extra comfortable to wear with no drawbacks. Stretch blouses are the future of women’s shirt making and we will be using the cloth for more designs going forward.
Dates and nights out
When it comes to dates or a night out, you have a lot more versatility and all of the white blouses we have discussed so far can be considered. Some will be more formal than others depending on the occasion. Two other options to consider is our white shirt with Liberty print and white blouse with black bow.
The white shirt has contrasting "Mabelle" London Liberty print inside the collar and cuff. The print not only lifts the shirt but also the entire outfit. We use this signature style in all of our ladies Oxford blouses and many of our men’s tailored shirts.
Last but not least we have our classic white shirt with black bow. This is a really versatile option as the black bow can be removed giving you two blouses for the price of one. Wear for work during the day and add the black bow for going out.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to wear with dressy white blouses?
A question that comes up a lot and the answer depends on the occasion. If it is for that important work event then consider smart trousers or a pencil skirt. If it is for a wedding you can’t go wrong with black jeans. For special occasions that are more casual then just stick with your favourite smart blue jeans.
Should I choose a white dressy blouse?
Whilst every woman should have at least one white blouse in her wardrobe, white tops don’t suit everyone. If you have pale skin it can make you look washed out. In such cases consider another colour. Black, burgundy and navy are perfect base colours for dressy blouses.
Where are you blouses made?
All our blouses are hand cut and made at our Suffolk factory in England. We use only the finest materials including cloths sourced from Europe’s finest shirting mills. For a quality finish we use only single needle stitching throughout and have a number of double and triple stitched seams to guarantee longevity.
How to care for my white blouse?
We recommend a 30 degree wash. Under no circumstances should you ever put them on a tumble dryer. For best results hang straight from the washing machines and iron on the inside on medium heat.
What size range do you offer and what is the fit like?
We offer a fantastic selection of sizes from a size 6 up to 20. Our blouses are fitted to create a nice feminine shape. If you prefer a more generous cut then we recommend going up one dress size.
Do you offer other colour blouses?
In addition to white shirts, we offer a fantastic selection of blouses in both styles and colour options. If you are interested in stretch shirts we have this fabric in all our white, blue and black blouses. It is also an option for our navy ruffle blouse and ladies denim shirt.
What jacket or coat to wear with a white dressy blouse?
This obviously depends on the occasion. However if you are seeking a smart coat that will perfectly accompany your dressy white blouse then consider one of our ladies flagship trench coats. These coats are not only extremely stylish but also practical and very versatile. We use a dry wax water resistant cloth for the outer shell which will keep you both warm and dry. They are on sale on our website now.
Where can we buy your Blouses?
They are all available to view and buy online alongside a broad selection of other Garments, all made here in the Uk and all with free UK Shipping. They make great gifts too and you will be supporting British Manufacture. WE always ask customers to leave a review.
Conclusion
We are confident that we can help you find the perfect dressy white blouse for that really special and important occasion. Think carefully about what you are going to wear with the blouse in terms of bottom half and a jacket if need be. Also reflect on the occasion. Choosing the right blouse for a wedding is likely to be different than that important work do, or a birthday party. Good luck.
