Lysandra - Long V-Neck Blouse

The relaxed shape falls beautifully without looking baggy. I wore it with white trousers for lunch and felt comfortable all afternoon.

I bought the Lysandra for days when I am running from school pick-up to errands and still want to look presentable. The relaxed fit gives me plenty of room through the middle and the V-neck is flattering without being too low. I have worn it with both fitted pants and cropped jeans. It feels light and comfortable and does not cling.

The colours are even nicer in person and the V-neck sits well. It has become an easy favourite for weekend wear.

I ordered my usual size and the fit was comfortably relaxed, as I hoped. The longer cut is especially nice over narrow trousers because it gives coverage without feeling heavy. I wore it to a coffee catch-up and had two friends ask where it was from. It also packed well for an overnight trip.

I wanted something loose for warmer days that still looked put together. This does exactly that.

A really easy long blouse to throw on with leggings or white jeans. The length gives good coverage and the fabric moves nicely.

The print gives it enough interest that I do not need much jewellery with it. I have worn mine to work with navy pants and again on the weekend with white jeans. The loose cut is forgiving around the tummy and still looks neat. Very handy when I cannot be bothered planning an outfit.

The overall fit is roomy and comfortable and the blue pattern is lovely. I am fairly short, so the sleeves were a little longer on me than I expected, although I can easily push them up. The length works well over leggings. I would still buy it again.

I took this away for a long weekend because I wanted something that could work for daytime and dinner. It was comfortable for travelling and looked smart enough in the evening with black trousers and simple earrings. The loose fit is especially good after a big meal, which I appreciate these days. The V-neck gives the blouse some shape so it does not feel like a tent. I washed it on a gentle cycle when I got home and it came out well. The blue and turquoise print has plenty of colour but is still easy to match. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of it.

I am in my late fifties and prefer tops that skim rather than cling, especially around my stomach and hips. The Lysandra has been excellent for that. It hangs loosely but the neckline stops it from looking shapeless. I wore it to a family birthday with white pants and flat sandals and felt properly dressed without being uncomfortable. The fabric has a soft, fluid feel and moved nicely when I walked. Sizing was straightforward for me and I stayed with my normal size. It is the sort of top I reach for when I want comfort but still want to look polished.

I was a little unsure about ordering such a colourful print online, but it is surprisingly easy to wear. The mix of blues works with denim, navy and white, so I have already worn it several different ways. The longer length is practical for shopping days and travelling because I do not have to keep adjusting it. It feels breathable and does not restrict my arms. I also like that the shape is relaxed without swallowing me up. Delivery was straightforward and the blouse arrived in good condition. For the sale price I am happy with the quality and versatility.

The print is beautiful and the blouse feels very easy to wear. I ordered my usual size because I like a relaxed fit, but it is definitely generous through the body. If you prefer a neater silhouette you may want to check the measurements carefully. I kept mine because I like the extra room for hot days and it looks good with slim trousers. The longer shape was useful on holiday and I never felt restricted in it. I have washed it once on a gentle cycle and it held up nicely. Overall I am pleased, just be aware that the fit is intentionally loose.
