From French branch Manoush whose aesthetic is feminine, bohemian and handcrafted, this is a sleeveless shell style blouse in a very unusual textured fabric of raised red polka dots on a white background. Manoush is known for its over-the-top, sometimes kitsch details. Along with the raised dots, this top features a strip of red grosgrain ribbon embellished with picot edge trim running down the front that is topped by a sideways bow. There is a scalloped band of cotton voile with embroidered polka dots and edges and a band at the hem that has the same raised dots as the body, but in much smaller size. The back closes with a tiny snap and zipper that is lined with the same picot edge trim as on the front.

Classic/retro shell style tailoring with a round neckline, bust darts and straight, boxy shape. Completely and loosely lined with a soft white cotton, attached at certain points in the body and with strings at the hem in order to hold it in place.
