Stretchable Blouses
Two clever ways to skip the tailor
Buying a blouse online usually comes down to one worry: will it fit? This page answers it in two ways. One is fabric that stretches. The other is construction with adjustable elastic built right in.
The first group is our knits. ComfortEase blouses in 4-way stretch come in long and short sleeves, and the knitted halter crop tops add a sleeveless option, all in nine shades. The second is the Ulta Pulta blouses, brocade on both faces with adjustable elastic on both sides. Wear either face out and still tweak the fit.
The reversibles come in six pairings, including blue and gold, pink and tangerine, yellow and purple, and a gold-black-bronze. Unsure of your size? Start with a knit. Add a reversible once you know how you like a blouse to sit.
Together they travel well. One reversible and two knits can carry a long Diwali visit home: the gold side for the evening, a knit for the morning. There are more two-in-one styles in our reversible blouses, and stretch sits happily with our ready-to-wrap sarees.
Good to know
Will these fit if I don't know my exact size?
They're far more forgiving than fixed sizes, which also makes them a calm choice for gifting. Knit and brocade pieces are sized differently, so check the note on each product page.
Can I wear one with a silk saree?
Yes. A reversible brocade suits silk best, while the knits sit better under lighter drapes.
How do I clean the brocade reversibles?
Dry clean them, as their product pages recommend. The knits are happy with a gentle cold wash.
