{"product_id":"bibi-floral-gather-sleeves-contrast-neckband-blouse-top","title":"Cream Floral Berry Print Puff Sleeve Split Neck Boho Blouse","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Blouse That Holds the Summer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a version of warm-weather dressing that is not about minimalism or utility but about softness — the particular softness of a blouse with gathered sleeves and a print that references gardens and June mornings in equal measure. This BiBi cream blouse with its small floral berry print, voluminous gathered puff sleeves, and striped red-and-ivory contrast neckband is that version. It is a piece that makes getting dressed feel like a pleasure rather than a decision, and it photographs with the quality of something significantly more expensive than its price suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA short-sleeve blouse from BiBi in cream and beige with an allover small floral berry print in pink-red tones, featuring a V-split neckline with a contrast neckband in red and ivory stripes, and voluminous gathered puff short sleeves. The puff sleeve is the defining silhouette element: full, gathered at the armhole and the cuff, creating a voluminous upper-arm shape that balances a simple fitted bodice and establishes the romantic, feminine register of the piece. The contrast neckband, in red and ivory stripes, is a deliberate colour-punch at the neckline that connects the print's berry tones to a crisp structural detail at the V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the spring and summer dresser who wants a blouse with genuine personality rather than a safe neutral. For the romantic wardrobe where floral prints are a consistent language. For the person who photographs their life and wants pieces that make images worth keeping. For the buyer who sees the puff sleeve and the contrast neckband together and understands immediately that this blouse is doing something deliberate with its references.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Closer Look\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCream\/beige base with allover small floral berry print in pink-red blossom tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-split neckline with red and ivory striped contrast neckband panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoluminous gathered puff short sleeves, full through the upper arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted bodice below the gathered sleeve attachment point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight woven fabric with natural drape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scale of the floral print is deliberately small — individual blossoms rather than large botanical motifs — which means the print reads as texture at a distance and as detail up close, giving the blouse two visual registers simultaneously. Step back three metres and it is a warm cream top with a light surface pattern. Step closer and the small berries and blossom clusters become distinct, each one different from its neighbour in the way that hand-drawn patterns maintain variation that mechanical repeats do not. The gathered puff of the sleeves is most dramatic from a front-facing angle: two soft pillows of cream and berry print that frame the neckline and the contrast neckband between them in a composition that has the deliberateness of fashion photography even in a casual mid-afternoon outdoor context. The neckband's striped edges sit clean and flat, not rolling at the opening — a construction quality that matters on a V-neck that is worn open to the collarbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Drape\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a lightweight woven material in a natural or near-natural composition, with the soft, relaxed drape of a fabric that has been washed and pre-treated for immediate comfort rather than requiring a breaking-in period. It is opaque at the chest and bodice, which is important in a V-neckline blouse. The puff sleeves use a slightly more gathered construction of the same fabric, creating the volume without rigidity — the sleeve billows naturally with movement rather than holding a fixed shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit and Silhouette\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fitted bodice and the voluminous puff sleeve create a deliberate contrast within the same garment — structured below, abundant above. The V neckline adds length to the neck and collarbone. The contrast neckband sits in a stripe direction that adds width at the neckline, balancing the volume of the puff sleeves. Sizing follows standard women's sizing; the gathered sleeve means the shoulder and upper arm width is generous and does not pull across wider shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn with high-waisted cream or white wide-leg linen trousers, the cream-on-cream creates a tone-on-tone summer set where the blouse provides all the visual complexity through the print and sleeve silhouette. With high-waisted straight dark-wash jeans, the blouse becomes the casual-elegant centrepiece of an outfit that moves easily from afternoon to evening. For a special occasion, tucked into a high-waisted midi skirt in a solid red that echoes the contrast neckband, the blouse becomes formal without trying. Pair with tan woven sandals and a small rattan bag for a summer afternoon complete look that requires nothing else — the blouse has already done all the work the outfit needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOccasions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpring and summer social occasions: lunches, garden parties, weddings as a guest. Weekend dressing for the days that call for more than a t-shirt. Travel wardrobes where one floral blouse covers multiple occasions without taking up additional space. Content creation and photography where the print and sleeve silhouette create images worth keeping. Outdoor dining, farmers markets, flower markets, and botanical garden visits where the blouse reads in conversation with its surroundings. Summer engagement shoots, christenings, and celebration lunches where the romantic register is exactly correct and the puff sleeve adds a festive note without competing with the occasion itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachine wash gentle cold or hand wash. Lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the gathered puff sleeve shape. A light steam on the sleeves after washing restores the volume if the gathering has been compressed in storage. Do not iron the gathered sections directly — steam from a distance is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Wow Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contrast neckband in red and ivory stripes sits at the exact point where the V neckline meets the bodice, which means it functions simultaneously as a neckline finish and as a colour anchor for the berry tones in the print. It is a design decision that connects two different elements of the blouse into a single coherent story, and it is the kind of detail that makes the piece look considered and complete rather than assembled from independent choices. The stripe direction echoes the horizontal proportion of the puff sleeve gathering, creating a visual rhythm between the top and bottom of the bodice that is felt before it is consciously noticed. That unconscious coherence — the reason the blouse looks complete and right without the viewer being able to immediately articulate why — is the hallmark of a design that was resolved before it was executed, not one that arrived at its final form by accident at the sample stage. Wear it once and you feel it; wear it twice and you understand why the detail could not have been any other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Blouse That Earns Its Space\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWowStore carries blouses with a genuine point of view, pieces that justify every inch of wardrobe space they occupy.

The fitted bodice keeps it sharp enough for a pitch room, the gathered puff sleeves and floral berry print soften it for the school gate, and the striped contrast neckband gives it enough character to hold its own at a client dinner.\u003c\/strong\u003e One piece, three rooms, no mid-day change and no second decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fabric holds its shape through a full day with kids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a soft cotton blend chosen for breathability and drape, so it stays cool through spring and summer and recovers its shape after you have been on the floor at pickup. The gathered construction at the sleeve hides the creasing a flat poplin would show by 3pm.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can move through the day without checking a mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know the eco claims here are real and not greenwashing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFair question, and the short answer is to look for specifics rather than slogans. We name the material, the cotton blend, the care that extends its life, and where it ships from, instead of stamping a vague green badge on the page.\u003c\/strong\u003e A brand that cannot tell you what a piece is made of is hoping you will not ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if the size is wrong when it arrives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou get free returns within 30 days across the EU, UK, and US, with no strict eco-store conditions buried in the policy. Sizes run S, M, L, and XL in standard EU measurements, so check the size guide once and order with confidence.\u003c\/strong\u003e The blouse is true to size on a fitted bodice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the puff sleeve still read professional?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYes, because the volume is balanced. The sleeve is gathered at both the armhole and the cuff against a simple fitted bodice, so it reads as considered femininity rather than costume, and the V-split neckline with its red-and-ivory striped neckband keeps the neckline crisp.\u003c\/strong\u003e It signals you dressed on purpose, which is the whole point in a pitch room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt only comes in cream floral. Is that a wardrobe risk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne colourway, cream and beige with a small pink-red berry print, and that is the strength, not the limit. It is a single dependable answer rather than another choice to make, and it layers cleanly under a blazer or over tailored trousers for networking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The woman who runs the day wants fewer decisions, not more options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I keep the print looking new?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry, no bleach. That keeps the berry print saturated and protects the contrast neckband stripes from fading.\u003c\/strong\u003e Treated this way it stays a piece you reach for season after season instead of one you replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does buying here actually support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5% of every order funds a cause you choose at checkout, not a fixed brand foundation you never picked.\u003c\/strong\u003e The marketplace only improves when the people who shop it shape where the money goes, so the choice stays with you rather than with us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BiBi","offers":[{"title":"CREAM FLORAL \/ S","offer_id":52746449977672,"sku":"100100883821360","price":119.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CREAM FLORAL \/ M","offer_id":52746450010440,"sku":"100100883822510","price":119.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CREAM FLORAL \/ L","offer_id":52746450043208,"sku":"100100883823067","price":119.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CREAM FLORAL \/ XL","offer_id":52746450075976,"sku":"100100883824506","price":119.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/9042\/8232\/files\/bibi-floral-gather-sleeves-contrast-neckband-blouse-topwow-store-5986740.jpg?v=1774406221","url":"https:\/\/wowstore.live\/products\/bibi-floral-gather-sleeves-contrast-neckband-blouse-top","provider":"Wow Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
