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...

‘Several colours’ … hmmmm, I clearly DO need that burgundy … 🤔

Jeans, wide leg trousers, denim skirt here so far for me.

Thank you, good suggestions. Not trying to tempt you further but did you see that they have a short sleeved version that came out in the summer?

Who knew there were so many truly gorgeous blouses, now totally spoiled for choice! I too am a flat shoes person, I have a little pair of gold leather flats that are my most dressed style.

Is the New Romantic (Spandau Ballet) look making a return then?!

Some of the M&S blouses especially Per Una are stunning.

Following as I love a pretty fancy blouse. I usually scour ebay for vintage

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. 😆

That’s absolutely gorgeous.
Does it come up large ?
Did you size down ?

I love this blouse but at this price I'd never drink red wine, or eat bolognaise, curry, gravy etc again. Could be very slimming.

I didn’t size up, but I think each size would fit a good range, depending on how you want it to fit. It really is lovely.
