It's time for our very first Product Showcase...this time concerning the amazing Estelle top by Heart of Haute (heartofhaute.com). We were both ecstatic to purchase this blouse. Heart of Haute creates very unique clothing perfect for the pinup in all of us. The Estelle top in particular is truly a beautiful staple every pinup gal should have in their closet. We went through Unique Vintage (uniquevintage.com) for this blouse for the exclusive tartan print. The print is perfect for the Holidays!
We were first on the fence about the sizing because we pretty much fit in between sizes and wanted a nice fitted look. The both of us are literally the exact same in terms of measurements and decided to settle on the size large while still thinking it was going to be too tight, but it was the perfect fit...like a glove! The blouse is very tailored which really is flattering on any shape or size. We loved the look of the sleeves...a bit of "puff" without it being too exaggerated. The blouse is a button up and has the perfect finish...THE BOW!!! The bow is perfect and gives it that definite retro look to really finish off that look. The bow is a bit tricky to get a handle on but just give it a couple tries for the perfect bow. This blouse is such a versatile staple...wear it with high wasted slacks or a skirt...either way it's always a hit. There is no stretch to the blouse, but still highly comfortable.
We couldn't wait to use this top for our "Winter Wonderland" photoshoot we had up in Big Bear Lake, California. We truly believe the blouses really topped off our look. We paired it with an adorable set of retro denim overalls we found at Target.com. Since that shoot, our "Estelle" top collection has definitely grown.
Emily says....
"I like the bow tie the most! It sets it apart from any old boring blouse! It's what gives it that true 50's look, I think. I also really like the fit and the red tartan print is such a classic Christmas print...it couldn't be more perfect to wear during the holidays."
Andy says...
"I agree with Emily...the bow is my favorite part! It's incredible how something so small, as a bow, on a blouse can really change the game. I also love the fit. It is a fit on a blouse that I have been looking for. Especially being "curvy" it can be hard to find a nice button up blouse that is both cute and flattering at the same time. Of course the print is perfect and to top it off...who doesn't love the fact that it's made right here in the great U.S. of A!"
