So, everyone knows about my ridiculous obsession fondness for ruffly poet blouses, right? I have a (small, I swear!) collection of them, and yet, I am always on the hunt for more. And lately, I've wanted sheer ones. Don't ask me why, because it's not like I'd wear them without a slip underneath, but yeah. Sheer silk poet blouses. I think it's because sheer silk flows so luxuriously, so it really is the epitome of decadently lounging around and drinking absinthe by candlelight. Maybe.

Anyway, I have found two, two! Of the perfect blouse ... at prices I am not yet willing to bite the bullet on.





I would almost be willing to take the plunge on that black one (THOSE SLEEVE RUFFLES), but the bust measurements listed is exactly mine, with no ease. I'm not willing to spend over $100 on something I'm not sure will fit.

(BUT THOSE SLEEVE RUFFLES, THO'.)

Oooooohhh, yes -- those ruffles, ZOMG <3

I understand your concern about wanting to make sure you have some bust ease -- would wearing it with a corset help, possibly? Or would that spoil the point of this being something you're thinking of lounging luxuriously in?

I will bet you a dollar that [livejournal.com profile] kambriel could make something perfect to your specifications, since she's very talented with sheer fabrics and has a beautiful hand with draping and overall design :)

I understand this WANTY and join you in it -- finding anything with a poet-blouse neckline that fits my bust size is pretty much impossible, but I still loooove the ruffles (especially if they're cascading from closer to the top, so that I can get an underbust corset underneath them and still have the jabot-effect frothing over the top.

Hope you can find or commission something perfect for you!

Yeah, I was just coming here to ask if Kambriel could do similar :-)
