Design & Performance
The Verona blouse is constructed from a medium-weight polyester that utilizes mechanical stretch. Unlike traditional elasticated fabrics, mechanical stretch is achieved through the weaving process, providing flexibility and comfort that won't degrade over time. The crepe de chine weave provides a subtle pebble-like texture that is both soft to the touch and visually rich.
Performance is at the heart of this design. The inclusion of bust darts and a round neck ensures the garment sits correctly on the shoulders and chest, providing a professional line that is essential for client-facing roles. The short sleeves are cut to a length that allows for ease of movement, making it as practical as it is stylish.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-quality surface of the crepe de chine fabric is an excellent canvas for customisation. For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery. A well-executed logo on the chest or collar provides a permanent, high-quality branding solution that withstands frequent laundering. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, uses state-of-the-art machinery to ensure every stitch is precise.
While embroidery is often the preferred choice for blouses, high-definition print can also be utilised for larger, bolder designs if required. Our expert team will ensure that the method chosen respects the integrity of the delicate crepe finish while ensuring your brand is represented with absolute clarity.
Use Cases
This blouse is particularly suited for environments where a smart, uniform appearance is non-negotiable. It is an ideal choice for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and front-of-house staff in hotels or retail boutiques. Its combination of comfort and style makes it suitable for long shifts where maintaining a polished look is vital.

Practical Advice
The Verona blouse is designed with a standard feminine fit. We recommend ordering your usual size, as the mechanical stretch provides sufficient give for daily movement. For a complete corporate look, this blouse layers exceptionally well under a tailored blazer or waistcoat without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and the integrity of the fabric, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature ensures the mechanical stretch properties remain intact and the vibrant colour of the fuchsia or other shades does not fade prematurely.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners. Such substances can weaken the polyester fibres and dull the characteristic sheen of the crepe de chine weave. When drying, it is best to hang the garment immediately after washing to minimise the need for ironing, preserving the fabric's lifespan.
