Marie Curie Blouse Tea Posie with Toffee Cream Hand Smocking

The decadent frill collar, three-quarter length sleeve and cropped length set the playful tone of this natty blouse. Named after the Polish-French scientist who won two Nobel prizes and discovered two elements on the periodic table, the A-line blouse combines a yolk shoulder with a swing body, pivoting on a decadent hand-smocked panel featuring a lattice smock un cream threads framed by dramatic four step trellis stitch zigzags in toffee threads. The blouse is made from a vintage-inspired pin-tuck cream cotton strewn with "tea posies" and is finished with a dainty central smocked panel on the reverse, leaving you free to roll up your sleeves and set to work be it in pursuit of Nobel Prizes, glass ceilings or the next Martini.
