Large Burdett Coutts Pussy Bow Blouse Golden Girl Stripe with End of the Rainbow Hand Smocking Edition 1

For the glamorous and gracious. Named after a British Victorian heiress who became an outspoken and dedicated philanthropist that helped to found both the NSPCC and RSPCA, as well as funding countless other humanitarian causes, comes this hand-smocked blouse full of feminine flourish. Yards of Bellini hued cotton threaded with “champagne” gold stripes are pleated into a classic bishop smock neckline, featuring row upon row of crisp pleats sprinkled with sparkling gold double bullion knots. The pleated neckline crowns a sweeping a-line silhouette with an abundance of glamorous and languid details: generous blouson sleeves, richly smocked frilly cuffs and the piece-de-resistance, the generous pussy bow neck tie that can be worn loose or tied in a sumptuous bow.  One part Fleetwood Mac, one part Grace Kelly, it combines elegant touches of hand-smocking with an enchanting, romantic vibe, pair with high waisted trousers for a look that is as distinctive as its namesake would wish.
