Second Female sizing. Small is an AU 8 (EU 36), Medium an AU 10 (EU 38), Large an AU 12 (EU 40). Full measurements in the size guide below.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

The ruffles run across the chest on the diagonal. Set vertically a ruffle reads as a frill. Set on an angle it reads as a line, which is what keeps the Kannika on the right side of pretty.

Second Female made it from a lightweight, semi-sheer cloth of 85% lyocell and 15% polyester. Lyocell is spun from wood pulp and has a fluid drape, so the blouse moves when you do and the ruffles fall instead of standing out.

The collar stands up and fastens with a button at the back of the neck, which leaves the front clear for the ruffle. The sleeves are raglan, cut in one line from the collar to the underarm. They fasten with a button. Kelp is a muted green brown. It is the reason this is not another white blouse.

Choosing between two sizes

Most Second Female styles are true to size. Fitted styles and structured fabrics are the exception, and there the house recommends the larger size. Relaxed shapes and knits with give can take the smaller one. Blazers and jackets want a little room across the shoulders and bust. Any style that runs differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.
Inseam: from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.

Caring for Second Female

Wool, alpaca and mohair knits: hand wash, or a gentle wool cycle with wool detergent. Dry flat. Store folded, never on a hanger.

Leather: wipe with a damp cloth. Condition regularly so it does not dry out. Keep it away from heat and direct sun.

Cotton: wash cold and gently. Air dry to keep the shape and avoid shrinkage.

Denim: wash sparingly and inside out to protect the colour. Air dry.

For every other fabric, follow the care label sewn into the piece.
