Design & Performance
The Siena blouse is crafted from a technical blend of 94% polyester and 6% elastane. This specific composition is chosen for its dual benefits: the polyester provides exceptional durability and resistance to creasing, while the elastane offers a subtle stretch that accommodates a wide range of motion. Unlike traditional woven fabrics that can feel restrictive, this lightweight material adapts to the wearer’s movements. The crepe de chine weave gives the fabric a beautiful lustre and a sophisticated 'drop', ensuring the blouse looks as sharp at the end of a shift as it did at the start.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, the Siena blouse is suitable for both print and embroidery. For a traditional, high-end professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names, typically positioned on the chest. The delicate yet resilient nature of the crepe de chine fabric supports fine stitching remarkably well. Alternatively, if your branding requires a larger or more vibrant application, our precision printing methods ensure a crisp finish. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on our heritage that dates back to 1976.
Use Cases
This blouse is an excellent choice for corporate offices, banking, luxury retail, and hospitality management. Its clean lines and professional silhouette make it a versatile foundation piece for any female uniform, whether worn as a standalone top in warmer months or as a layering piece under a tailored jacket.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been at the forefront of the UK workwear industry. Operating from our base in Telford, we combine decades of technical expertise with modern production techniques. We understand that your uniform is a reflection of your business standards, which is why we only stock garments from reputable manufacturers like Brook Taverner and apply the same rigorous quality control to every embroidered or printed logo.
Practical Advice
The Siena blouse features a standard fit that is true to size. Due to the inclusion of elastane, there is a degree of flexibility in the fit, but we recommend choosing your usual size for the best silhouette. The fly front is particularly useful for avoiding 'gaping' at the chest, a common issue with standard button-down shirts. For a complete look, consider pairing this with a tailored skirt or trousers from our corporate range.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the technical fibres and ensure your branding stays vibrant, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature prevents the elastane from breaking down prematurely, which helps the blouse retain its shape and stretch over time.
As an 'easy care' garment, it is designed to be low-maintenance. After washing, hanging the blouse immediately will allow the polyester fibres to settle, significantly reducing the need for ironing. If ironing is required, use a cool setting to avoid damaging the synthetic blend.
