The red version of this blouse is a wonderful ruby color that highlights the black and white elephant designs on it. It is soft and easy to wear. It is very carefully made and presented in a plastic envelope. It has hand-sewn cream-and-gray buttons. I ordered the Large size. I think I will have to wear the blouse over a camisole or a sleeveless blouse. On me, it seems more like an overblouse, but I think the Medium would have been too small. I usually order size Large online, in sizes of S-M-L, and that is usually about right. I am five-seven, and I wear a 12 or 14 in American number size. As you can see, it is quite a special item.
