This is not your mom's luncheon blouse from back in the day. These blouses are so soft to the touch. You won't be disappointed in the fit. They do not stretch at all however they do run on the larger side. The elastic arm bands help for those jobs where you are really typing up a storm at the office or even when it gets a little too warm. We all know fall time it may be 30 in the morning but by afternoon we're looking a little sweaty! This blouse is perfect for that!!
