Blouses that are a bit special/vintage/classic in fabric and style

I don't often buy clothes (or go out - maybe that is a chicken and egg thing) but I'm turning 50 and want to go forward with a few quality items that I really like. I am planning on purchasing a couple of nice blouses that will dress up or down to wear with jeans. I love the look of these from Wrap London, and this kind of thing from Sezane (though the reviews of their quality are a bit mixed) and I was gutted to miss out on this in my size. All three brands share something a bit classic/vintage in their styles and I wondered if anyone knew of any others that are similar? Thank you :)

Blouse vintage col à fleurs écru

Blouse à manches longues en coton écru. Les quatre plis couchés jusqu'à mi-hauteur de la blouse, de chaque côté de la patte à double boutonnage et les fronces soutenues par un empiècement dans le dos induisent la forme blousante. Les broderies de fleur...

I bought this Stories blouse because someone on here made me mentioned it, and it’s gorgeous. I have it in white and navy, and now I’ve looked up the link I will be stopping myself buying the burgundy one too. 😆

@WinWhenTheyreSinging - i knew it would be that blouse before I clicked h your link. It’s fab isn’t it? I too have it in three colours and it’s so good. Smart and feminine and doesn’t need too much ironing.

Sorry to bring a downer to the special blouse thread - i do love a special blouse, but the flimsy ones are a bugger to iron and then crease so fast.

Joe Brown was my first thought. .

I had a blouse like that in the 80s. Very princess Di, it was.

I have the Sézane Chlo in écru guipure and love it, the material is quite substantial. I like the design of the Rym but it's like tissue paper.

This, from M and S. Per Una.
I bought it today. It’s mostly cotton, excellent quality and selling fast.
It’s very Sezane at less than half the price.
