Emily Womens Cotton Blouse in Light Blue | Eyelet Lace Detail

The Emily is a women's 100% cotton blouse with eyelet lace detailing across the yoke and sleeves, a classic button-down front with full-length sleeves and button cuffs, and hidden snap closures to prevent gaping. The eyelet adds texture and a quietly feminine quality without being overdone.

In light blue, it is the kind of blouse that works tucked into white shorts for a summer brunch just as easily as it does with wide-leg trousers for a long lunch or a smart casual office day. Wear it to a coffee date, a day at the beach, or any occasion where you want to look put-together without overthinking it. Available in sizes 4 to 22, true to size.

From the Lime & Soda Collective range, designed in Australia for women who want everyday pieces with a little something extra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Emily Blouse run true to size?
The Emily Blouse runs true to Australian sizing in a relaxed, easy silhouette, available in sizes 4 to 22. It's not fitted through the body, so it works across a range of shapes without needing adjustment. If you prefer a closer fit, you could size down one, but most customers wear their standard size.

The eyelet lace is beautiful, will it snag or fray easily?
The eyelet lace detailing on the Emily Blouse is made from 100% cotton and is integrated into the fabric rather than applied on top, so it won't peel or come away with regular washing. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, and line dry to keep it looking its best over time.

Will the eyelet detailing show through or look too revealing?
The eyelet detailing on the yoke and sleeves is decorative rather than sheer; it adds texture and visual interest without creating a visible-skin effect. It's refined enough for smart-casual workplaces and any occasion where you'd wear a blouse.

How do I wash it without damaging the lace?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out. Line dry rather than tumble drying. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents that can weaken the cotton fibres in the eyelet detailing. A cool iron on the smooth sections of fabric is fine; lay a pressing cloth over the eyelet areas to avoid catching.

What occasions is the Emily Blouse suited to?
The Emily Blouse is a versatile everyday piece that works across casual settings, smart-casual workplaces, lunch dates, and weekend events. The eyelet detailing makes it feel special without being overdressed. It pairs well with denim, tailored trousers, a linen skirt, or shorts.

How does the Emily compare to the Charlotte Blouse?
Both feature delicate detailing, the Emily has eyelet lace on the yoke and sleeves in a relaxed, easy silhouette. The Charlotte has intricate lace panelling with tailored front pleats and a more structured, formal-leaning shape. Choose Emily for everyday wear and casual settings; choose Charlotte for occasions where you want something more polished and occasion-ready.

Can I wear it to a country event or race day?
Yes. The eyelet detailing and feminine silhouette make the Emily Blouse well suited to race days, country events, and weddings as a guest. Pair it with a midi skirt and boots for a polished country look, or with wide-leg trousers for something more elegant.
