Pelin blouse
Pelin is a close-fitting blouse. The front features applied yokes and gathering along the yoke seam edge. The back is fitted with a center seam. The blouse has a deep, V-shaped neckline and fastens with buttons and rouleau button loops at the center front. The long set-in sleeves are tapered towards the bottom and pleated at the sleeve cap. The blouse flares out below the waist thanks to a two-layer peplum attached along the waistline. Pelin is above-hip length.
