Product Insights
The Johnny-Collar Pure Linen Blouse by Contemporaine ($115, rated 4.4/5) is a long-sleeve blouse made from 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen that starts crisp and structured but softens to a fluid drape within the first season, thanks to even softening from long-staple flax; it shrinks 5-10% in the first wash, so most shoppers size up one, and gentle cold wash with air drying minimizes shrinkage; the blouse reaches peak comfort after the first season, with the white version warming to ivory and dyed colors fading evenly while slub texture emerges; after relaxation, it layers well under cardigans and tucks into pants without bulk.

Toujours aussi confortable et élégant dans ces coupes larges, aérées.
J’adore
Ce sera mon passe-partout pour l’été.
Tellement décue
Je ne recommande pas du tout cet article. Ça ne vaut pas le prix. Simons mérite mieux. La qualité du Lin était tellement décevante.

Couleur me plaît….
Contente
Je l’adore la coupe la couleur même si à la fin de la journée elle est toute fripée.
Transparente
Cette chemise m’a attiré par sa coupe cependant, elle est vraiment très transparente de sorte qu’on doive opter une camisole pour se sentir bien.
Blouse juste parfaite
J'adore ce chemisier en lin. J'en ai même acheté un 2e! Pour porter du lin depuis de nombreuses années, je peux dire qu'il est d'excellente qualité. C'est un morceau d'été passe-partout qui ne se démode pas. Je n'ai que des compliments quand je porte l'une de mes chemises. J'avoue que je ne comprends absolument pas les commentaires négatifs. . .
Très jolie
Cette blouse de lin est chic et légère.
Nice
The shirt is nice but I’ve purchased linen before and the quality doesn’t match the price. It’s also shorter than I thought.
