‘Most beautiful’ blouse is ‘like no other on high street’

Blouses are an absolute wardrobe staple, with them pairing beautifully with trousers, jeans and skirts. Shoppers believe Boden is selling the perfect one that’s ‘like no other on the high street’ thanks to its vibrant pattern. The Arabella Cotton Blouse costs £76 and is available in sizes four to 22.

The floaty bright blue garment is made from a cool 100% cotton fabric and has a bright wildflower pattern stamped all over it. It is a relaxed straight fit and is designed to fall between the waist and hip. The blouse is clearly a hit with shoppers, as Boden has labelled it as ‘selling like hot cakes’ on the website.

As well as its unique print, what sets Boden’s garment apart is its unusual neckline. Most blouses on the market, such as Joanie Clothing’s, have a shirt collar, however Boden’s has a high round neckline that can be buttoned right up to the top.

One delighted buyer awarded the Arabella Cotton Blouse five stars and said: “Gorgeous shirt. Fabulous colours and contrasting patterns, with a nice neat fit. I particularly liked the little puff tucks at the shoulder seams which just adds a bit of shape interest to make the whole shirt look a bit special.”

“I have to say I am extremely impressed, it is beautiful,” wrote a second happy customer. “It fits lovely (I am a size 12) and looks like no other blouse on the high street. I have already received compliments from friends. I know I will get a lot of wear out of it.”

Someone else commented: “This top is even more beautiful in person than on the website. The colors are bright, the style is lovely, and the workmanship is impeccable.”

However, they did go on to mention an issue they found with the sizing, as they explained: “Unfortunately, it fits at least a size too small. I measured the size 8 I ordered and found that the bust is closer to a size 4 and the waist and hip are closer to a size 6.”

Boden has a detailed size guide above the available sizes showing a variety of measurements in inches and centimeters, so be sure to check it out before choosing your size to ensure you select the perfect fit. You can buy the Arabella Cotton Blouse here for £76.
