Product Overview
The Henbury Women's pleat front long sleeve blouse is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, combining a feminine silhouette with high-performance technical properties. Designed specifically for the corporate and hospitality environments, this blouse features a beautifully draped pleat front neckline and a subtle keyhole back with a single button opening. The lightweight fabric ensures that the wearer remains comfortable during long shifts, while the tailored details provide a polished, executive appearance that standard shirts often lack.
Key Features
- Elegant Pleat Front: The pleated detail at the neckline creates a soft, draped effect that enhances the garment's professional aesthetic without sacrificing comfort.
- Cofrex/Pufy Fabric Base: This unique fabric technology provides moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, ensuring you stay cool and dry in high-pressure environments.
- UV Protection: The anti-UV properties built into the fabric offer an extra layer of protection for staff working in varied lighting or outdoor hospitality settings.
- Practical Fastenings: Featuring a single button back neck opening and slightly gathered sleeves at the cuff with keyhole openings, the blouse is as functional as it is stylish.
- Curved Hem: The slightly curved hem allows the blouse to be worn tucked in for a formal look or untucked for a more contemporary, relaxed professional style.
Design & Performance
At the heart of this blouse is the 100% Cofrex/Pufy polyester fabric. Unlike standard polyester, this technical material is engineered for performance. It is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for layering under blazers or knitwear without causing overheating. The "easy care" nature of the fabric means it resists significant creasing, maintaining a crisp appearance from the start of the day to the end of the shift.
The set-in long sleeves provide a structured fit at the shoulders, while the slight gathering at the cuff adds a touch of traditional tailoring. This balance of modern fabric technology and classic design ensures the garment performs well under the rigours of daily wear while maintaining its shape and colour vibrancy over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your brand identity is paramount. This blouse is excellently suited for both print and embroidery customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery on the chest or collar; our high-quality threads ensure your logo remains sharp and professional through repeated laundering.
If you require a more contemporary or larger design, our printing services provide a crisp, vibrant finish that adheres perfectly to the Pufy polyester base. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting the art of workwear branding since 1976. Whether you choose a subtle embroidered name or a bold printed logo, we ensure the finish meets our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
This blouse is an ideal choice for front-of-house hospitality staff, corporate office teams, and professional receptionists. Its technical wicking properties also make it a sensible option for retail environments where staff are constantly on the move. Given its elegant drape, it is equally at home in a boardroom as it is at a high-end restaurant greeting station.

Practical Advice
This blouse is available in an inclusive size range from XS to 4XL. Because the fabric is lightweight and designed to drape, we recommend checking our size guide to ensure the best fit across the chest and shoulders. For those working in cooler environments, this blouse layers exceptionally well under a fine-gauge knit cardigan or a structured corporate jacket without adding bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical wicking and UV-protective properties of the Cofrex fabric, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove daily grime while protecting the integrity of the synthetic fibres and any custom embroidery or print.
Do not use fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and significantly reduce the fabric's wicking capabilities. Avoid the use of bleach, which will weaken the polyester yarns and cause discolouration. To prevent shrinkage or damage to the delicate pleat details, do not tumble dry this garment; instead, hang it to dry naturally.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting (one dot) and iron on the reverse side. Never iron directly over any custom decoration, as the heat can damage the print or embroidery threads. Washing and drying the garment inside out will also help to protect the face of the fabric and your branding from abrasion during the wash cycle.
