I hand-washed one of the Blythe silk blouses on a whim (it said dry-clean only), and it shrunk about 1 and 1/2 sizes (it started out a 10, and then shrunk to slightly smaller than the size 8 that I have). Actually, it worked out perfectly because it was too big, but be forewarned if you're thinking of doing that!

Thanks :flowers:
Did you hand wash it in cold water?
I have about 8-9 Blythe blouses and I would hate to have them shrink on me. I have been guilty of hand-washing dry clean only items :shame:

I hand-washed the crepe de chine ones in cold water (literally just put some gentle fabric wash in and swirled it around and let it soak for 15 minutes). I think there is a Blythe blouse in a blue background with white dots for a pattern (can't remember what they called it in the store) that had a hand-wash laundry tag in it. That one felt like it was a different type of silk finish (not crepe de chine), and if they tell you to hand-wash it, it probably will be fine.

Just received my cashmere henley (the one with leather buttons, "Loretta" I think). Feels and looks great, but I see what you mean about the vanity sizing! I got a medium, and it was a little big; usually I'm a large in most tops.

Thanks Dc. I was thinking of picking up the blythe in purple size 6. Do you own any of these blouses and are you happy with them? With the promo it would be $41.99.

**hangs head in shame** Yes, Yes, I own the Blythe Blouse - in 6 colors :laugh:

and Yes, I'm very happy with them. Great for layering, since they don't add bulk.

Here I am wearing the alabaster color:
