Maison Fauve - Tempête (Storm) Blouse

About the Tempete Blouse

The Tempête blouse has a gorgeous, draped neckline.  The pattern plays with pleats and the proportions bring a trompe l'oeil effect to the collar. The long sleeves include stitched pleats and a buttoned cuff. You can also opt for the sleeveless version which has a beautiful armhole finish.  This is an elegant little top to wear on any occasion.
