Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Amelia Semi-Fitted Blouse is a sophisticated and modern garment designed for the contemporary professional. Moving away from the traditional pointed collar, this blouse features a neat grandad collar that offers a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Part of the Stretch Cotton Blend collection, it provides a tailored appearance without the restrictive feel of standard dress shirts, making it an ideal choice for active workdays.
Key Features
- Grandad Collar: Offers a modern, minimalist look that stands out in a corporate or hospitality environment while remaining strictly professional.
- Princess Seams: These structural seams are engineered to provide a feminine, semi-fitted shape that follows the natural line of the body for a flattering silhouette.
- Stretch Cotton Blend: The inclusion of elastane within the fabric allows the garment to move with the wearer, reducing strain on the seams and increasing comfort.
- Long Sleeve with Single Cuff: Provides a classic, formal finish that is suitable for year-round wear and professional settings.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Amelia blouse is rooted in its technical fabric composition. By blending 57% polyester with 39% cotton and 4% elastane, Brook Taverner has created a garment that balances durability with breathability. The polyester ensures the blouse is resilient against the daily wear and tear of a busy workplace, maintaining its shape and colour through repeated wash cycles.
The cotton component ensures the fabric is comfortable against the skin, while the elastane provides essential flexibility. This stretch capability is particularly beneficial in roles that require a wide range of motion, as the fabric recovers its shape quickly rather than bagging or sagging. The semi-fitted cut, enhanced by princess seams, provides a structured look that remains comfortable throughout a full shift.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine-weave fabric of this blouse is an excellent surface for customisation. For a truly professional and authoritative appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, can apply high-definition logos or staff names to the chest or collar, providing a permanent and premium finish that withstands regular laundering.
For organisations requiring larger or more intricate designs, high-quality printing is also a viable option. Whether you require subtle branding or a more prominent logo, MyWorkwear handles all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards of quality control. The Amelia blouse's flat-front design provides an ideal canvas for showcasing your company identity.
Use Cases
This blouse is highly versatile and is particularly popular within the hospitality sector for front-of-house staff and management. It is equally at home in a corporate office environment, retail setting, or as part of a formal uniform for events. The grandad collar makes it a unique choice for those looking to differentiate their brand from competitors using standard collared shirts.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that the semi-fitted nature of the Amelia blouse is designed to be sleek rather than baggy. If you are frequently layering this garment under a structured blazer or waistcoat, the grandad collar is particularly advantageous as it sits flat and prevents bulk around the neckline.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your blouse, we recommend following the machine washable instructions. Regular laundering at the recommended temperature helps to remove daily oils and keeps the white fabric looking crisp.
Avoid using harsh bleaching agents as these can degrade the elastane fibres over time, causing the garment to lose its stretch and shape. By following standard care procedures, you ensure that the custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and the fabric continues to perform as intended for the life of the garment.
