INDI&COLD | Rocio Embroidered Pleated Blouse - Cotton Dobby & Slub Knit

A study in structural contrast, the INDI&COLD Rocio blouse begins with a fitted shoulder and sleeveless armhole, then releases into a subtle flare at the waist. The defining gesture is a series of precise tucks at the side seams, which coax the hem into a gentle A-line silhouette—an architectural shift that lends the top a sculptural quality without sacrificing ease. A center front button closure and clean crewneck keep the neckline restrained, allowing the volume below to read as intentional rather than accidental. The fabric tells a layered story of textures. The front panel is a cotton dobby, its woven geometric surface offering a crisp, slightly structured hand that holds the pleats in place. The back is cut from a slub knit—irregular, tactile, and soft against the skin—introducing a deliberate tension between tailored precision and relaxed drape. At the yoke, pleated details gather the fabric in quiet folds, while the hem is finished with delicate embroidery and a whisper of lace trim; these are not embellishments for ornament’s sake but textural punctuation marks that reward a closer look. Cut for a regular fit, the Rocio skims the torso without clinging. The shoulder line is precise, the armhole clean, and the body offers enough breathing room to layer under a tailored blazer or wear alone with a high-waisted trouser. On a size S, the length measures 61 cm from the shoulder, with a chest width of 48 cm and a bottom hem that opens to 58 cm—a proportion that elongates the silhouette while creating a soft, swinging movement as you walk. Each size adds 1 cm in length and 2 cm in contour, preserving the balance across the range. This is a top built for motion. The slight flare at the hem catches air with every step, while the combination of stable dobby and yielding knit allows the garment to move with the body rather than against it. It belongs in a wardrobe that prizes subtle engineering: pair it with a sharp wool trouser and leather mule for a day at the gallery, or with raw denim and a flat sandal for a weekend lunch. The Rocio asks for nothing more than a confident companion.
