Maybe I'll pick up a couple for my gift closet.

The model better not sit down because linen wrinkles quickly and she will be a wrinled mess. I do not care for the style.

I do love the design of the material but not the puffed sleeves and bow in back. I say if there are those who can afford this blouse, go for it. But of course for the average earner, it's much too costly.

It's worse than the Seinfeld puffy shirt!

I could see Villanelle killing someone while wearing it. Any of my Eve fans agree?

It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of the Puffy shirt. 🤣 Boy what I could do with that amount of money.

The blouse is not my style or priced for my budget. There is, however, pure artistry involved in the design and execution of the print/lace/scalloping on the blouse.

I won't discuss the pros and cons of the style here, but let's see if I can explain why this blouse is so expensive.

The pattern making and insertion of the varying lacy insets is not something that comes in a by-the-yard bolt in a fabric store. It is a complicated process of overlaying the cut out lace over the linen background, the proper placement, the sewing on of the lace and the cutting out of the linen background. A quality product like this has to be done by hand. I worked on this process only once (and believe me, that was enough). I might add that the lace inserts on this blouse are not single run inserts, but rather complicated with various shapes.

There's several youtube instructions for simpler versions of straight ribbon run laces, but not like this one.
