Be the most incandescent lady at the party.  How perfect for a brisk game of croquet in the early spring, as the capelet can be added or removed based on the level of warmth of the sun.  The capelet is an excellent fashion accessory on it's own with other clothing besides the blouse, like a bustier or corset, so consider that a bonus.  Both rosette applique trim and cotton eyelet(not thin poly lace).  Marvelously shaped, it is fitted in the waist for very little bulk through your middle with a cutaway style front and a slight flair and small ruffled finish at the hem to hide your waistband.  Pretty little Peter Pan collar is accentuated when the capelet adds its big bow tie in the center.  Gorgeously flounced, delicately layered belled sleeves show off cotton eyelet trim adding ribbon bow details.  97% cotton & 3% spandex for just a little more ease in movement than a traditional all cotton blouse.  Black or white.
