PAPIER - SH002 - THE FORM EDIT - Ruched Button-Placket Blouse

Make it your own

Minimalist, romantic or bold: the SH002 takes on a completely different look depending on your choice of fabric.

The gathered button placket offers plenty of creative possibilities on its own. Add contrasting bias tape on either side of the gathers to highlight this signature detail, or repeat the same bias tape at the armholes for a subtle matching touch. You can also experiment with contrasting buttons, printed fabrics or more fluid fabrics to completely transform the look of the design.
