Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Firenze Crepe de Chine Blouse represents a sophisticated fusion of professional aesthetics and technical garment engineering. Designed specifically for the modern professional environment, this long-sleeved blouse offers a fluid, elegant drape that does not sacrifice durability. The Crepe de Chine fabric provides a textured, high-quality finish that remains lightweight and comfortable for extended wear, ensuring your team looks polished from the first meeting to the end of the shift.
Key Features
- Fly Front Construction: The concealed button fastening creates a sleek, uninterrupted silhouette, providing a clean and contemporary appearance suitable for high-end corporate settings.
- Central Back Pleat: This design element is not merely aesthetic; it provides additional volume across the shoulders, allowing for a full range of movement without the fabric pulling or straining.
- Metallic Button Cuffs: The inclusion of metallic detailing on the cuffs adds a subtle touch of luxury, elevating the garment beyond standard office attire.
- Mechanical Stretch Fabric: Built-in stretch within the weave ensures the garment moves with the wearer, offering superior comfort compared to rigid synthetic alternatives.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester with integrated mechanical stretch, the Firenze blouse is engineered for the rigours of daily professional use. Unlike traditional silk crepe de chine, this technical polyester version offers significantly higher resilience and ease of maintenance while mimicking the luxurious hand-feel of its natural counterpart. The fabric choice ensures the blouse is highly resistant to creasing, making it an ideal choice for staff who need to maintain a crisp appearance throughout active workdays.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The refined texture of the Crepe de Chine provides an excellent canvas for custom branding. For a truly professional and permanent finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names with precision, typically positioned on the collar or chest to enhance brand identity without compromising the garment's elegant lines.
While embroidery offers a traditional 'proper' professional look, the smooth surface of this blouse also accommodates high-quality print for larger, bolder designs. Having managed customisation in-house since 1976, MyWorkwear ensures that every application is handled with the technical expertise required to maintain the fabric's integrity and drape.
Use Cases
This blouse is an essential component for front-of-house teams, corporate office environments, and hospitality management. Its balance of elegance and durability makes it particularly suited for roles that require a high degree of customer interaction where first impressions are critical.

Practical Advice
The inclusion of a central back pleat means this blouse offers a slightly more generous fit through the body than a standard darted shirt. When layering, this garment sits comfortably under a tailored waistcoat or blazer without bunching, thanks to its lightweight construction and fluid drape.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and technical performance of the Firenze blouse, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature helps to preserve the mechanical stretch fibres and ensures the Crepe de Chine texture remains smooth over time.
Avoid the use of biological detergents or bleach, as these can break down the polyester fibres and dull the vibrancy of the fabric. To ensure your custom embroidery or print remains in peak condition, we suggest washing the garment inside out and allowing it to air dry rather than using a tumble dryer, which can cause heat damage to both the fabric and the branding.
