Verified claims
- Sheerness
- Sheer voile requires layering but diffuses light softly.
- Coverage
- Sheer, unlined voile requires a camisole for coverage.
- Fit
- The blouse is moderately tailored through the chest and shoulders before releasing into a relaxed A-line body, with a hidden keyhole and button closure at the back neck.
- Sizing
- Fits true to size; model 5 ft 9 in wears Small.
- Care
- Hand wash cold, flat-dry — safer than dry cleaning, shrinkage under 3%.
- Brand story
- Smythe commits to fabric, construction, and classic design for longevity; made in Canada.
- Material
- Voile blend (60/30/10) is hand-washable, limits shrinkage under 3%, and has crisp structure.
- Design
- Sheer voile with tonal embroidery; layering recommended for coverage.
- Fabric weight
- The voile is among the lightest woven fabrics at 40–80 GSM, so the bell sleeves flutter with the slightest air while the cropped hem keeps its shape.
- Fabric hand and breathability
- The 60% viscose gives the voile a soft, cool hand and fluid drape; the 30% cotton keeps it dry and breathable, while the 10% polyester helps it resist wrinkles.
- Wet care
- Because viscose can lose 40–50% of its tensile strength when saturated, the blouse should never be wrung or hung while damp; towel-press and flat-dry to prevent micro-tears.
- Hem crispness
- The high-twist yarns give the voile a dry, crisp hand and allow the scalloped hem to hold a clean, pressed edge without a separate facing.

Airy embroidered top for untucked jeans styling
Wear this Smythe blouse untucked over jeans for a romantic, lightweight look — the fine embroidery and bell sleeves bring movement to the silhouette. As shown in the retailer's photo, the cropped hem sits above the waistband on the model, leaving a small midriff gap. Note that the body fabric is slightly sheer, so what's worn underneath can be faintly visible.[3,4,5,6]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Embroidered Bell-Sleeve Blouse: Choose this if you want a romantic, airy blouse with delicate tonal embroidery, long bell sleeves, and an intricately scalloped hem on a sheer, lightweight unlined voile. It has a cropped, slightly flared fit—moderately tailored through the chest and shoulders with a relaxed A-line body—a crew neck, and a keyhole back closure with a button, and it fits true to size per the brand. Note that the fabric is sheer and shows what is worn underneath, so plan on a camisole or layering piece, and it must be dry cleaned or hand washed in cold water.[1,2,3,4,6] | Poplin Pleated Shoulders Shirt: Choose this if you want a modern take on a classic button-down in 100% cotton poplin, with pleated shoulders that add slight puff at the sleeve caps, an exaggerated point collar, and a curved hem that falls below the hip. The boxy, moderately tailored fit is designed to work year-round, styled for the office or with denim for a casual look. It comes in white in sizes X-Small through X-Large and is made in Portugal.[7,8,9,10] |
