As delicate as the most worked blouse thanks to its small pleats, as original and essential as a sailor suit with its shoulder inserts, this pretty straight-cut blouse is set to become a wardrobe essential.

The Déferlante blouse can be worn in so many different ways: with or without buttoning at the front, with or without buttoning at the back, with pleats at the front, without pleats, or with just an embellished side. You'll never tire of reinventing your creations with this beautiful pattern. And the search for details that make all the difference doesn't stop there: the cuff is designed with an opening on the front of the hand, a delight that adds a further touch of elegance to Déferlante.
