Charlotte Womens Linen Blouse in Navy | Lace Detail

The Charlotte is a women's 100% linen blouse with delicate lace panelling down the front placket, structured front pleats, gathered full-length sleeves with a soft ruffle cuff finish, and the Lime & Soda Collective LS embroidery at the cuff. Hidden snap closures behind the placket keep everything sitting neatly with no gaping. It is a considered, beautifully detailed blouse made for occasions that call for something a little more special.

The 100% linen gives it a soft, natural drape that holds its shape through the pleats while staying breathable and comfortable in warm Australian weather. It suits race days, country events, weddings as a guest, presentation nights, and long lunches. Pair it with a tailored skirt, wide-leg trousers, or white jeans. Available in sizes 4 to 22, true to size.

From the Lime & Soda Collective range, designed in Australia for women who appreciate the kind of detail that makes a garment worth keeping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Charlotte Blouse run true to size?
The Charlotte Blouse runs true to Australian sizing, available in sizes 4 to 22. The tailored front pleats add a structured shape through the body, and the gathered sleeves sit softly at the shoulder. If you carry width across the shoulders or prefer extra room through the bust, we suggest sizing up one.

What fabric is it, and is it comfortable in warm weather?
The Charlotte Blouse is made from 100% linen, which gives it a soft, natural drape while holding its shape through the front pleats. Linen is naturally breathable and lightweight, keeping you comfortable in warm Australian conditions while still looking polished and put-together.

The lace panelling is stunning, will it be delicate to care for?
The lace panelling on the Charlotte is designed to be worn regularly, not just admired. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, and line dry in shade. Where possible, lay the blouse flat to dry so the lace panels keep their shape. Iron on a medium-low heat on the linen sections and use a pressing cloth over the lace.

What's the embroidered L&S detail on the cuff?
The Lime & Soda Collective signature is embroidered at the cuff of the Charlotte Blouse as a subtle brand detail. It's small and refined, a nod to craftsmanship rather than a logo statement. Most customers find it's a lovely detail once they notice it.

What occasions is the Charlotte Blouse suited to?
The Charlotte is one of the more dressed-up styles in the range. Its lace panelling, tailored pleats, and embroidered L&S detail make it suited to race days, weddings as a guest, formal country events, anniversary lunches, and smarter workplaces. It pairs beautifully with a tailored skirt, wide-leg trousers, or classic white jeans.

How does the Charlotte compare to the Georgie Blouse?
Both are 100% linen blouses, but the Charlotte has lace panelling and tailored front pleats for a more formal, occasion-ready look. The Georgie has gathering at the shoulders and a standard collar for a more relaxed, everyday feel. Choose Charlotte for special occasions; choose Georgie for smart-casual everyday wear.

Can I wear the Charlotte Blouse tucked in?
Yes. It looks particularly elegant tucked into a tailored skirt or wide-leg trousers. The front pleats lie flat when tucked, creating a clean line. Worn untucked, it falls gracefully over the hips as a relaxed blouse.
