These could be the cutest little blouses we've ever designed, with their perky, pointed collars, cheerful prints and saucy tie-front. They work equally well for a 50s look, when paired with a pencil or circle skirt; or a carefree 1940s country girl look when teamed with our trousers, thanks to our choice of feedsack style vintage prints. The sweet blossom with red centres in this fabric reminds us of Manuka trees in New Zealand. Here they're scattered on a pale turquoise background.
If you're short-waisted or particularly slim, you can do up only the top two of the three buttons, enabling you to knot it higher and more tightly. Make sure you remember your girl scout training and tie a reef knot for a neater finish – right over left and tuck under, left over right and tuck under.
