Sensuous Sumptuous Silk

The CFS overuses sumptuous for her online descriptions.
But believe me, this blouse is of sumptuous silk.
True to its name, the heavyweight silk bow top is heavy (for silk),
luscious, drapey, flowy, lovely 100% silk.
 
It feels really good on, like the caress of gentle Hawaiian trade winds.
Which is why I didn't (and it would be a shame to) wear a cami under, though you can see it's not opaque enough to not show through the color of the pants.
 
However, the CFS is clearly demonstrating detachment
from the merchandise for saying:
  1. Tailored fit
  2. Long sleeves
  3. Tie closure
A picture tells a few words:
(I'm 5'2" ish and these don't qualify as long sleeves in my book.)
In case you're wondering, the bow is tacked on, it's only decorative and doesn't serve as a closure. I also question whether it's considered lush since I'd have tied it with much larger loops but OK, I'll give you that one, CFS.
 
I used to work for several advertising agencies where proofreading,
including checking for accuracy of the copy, was taken seriously.
I'd have been fired a long time ago for describing notch lapels as a standing collar or skirt lengths so consistently wrong and  ...
you all have your own good and bad examples of CFS errors.
 
But she's a pun robot and I guess that's all they care.
 
Back to the blouse ... I'd wear it, sans the lush bow, as pajamas if I could.
And if I was a rich girl, I'd sleep in sheets made of the same fabric.
 
The same blouse in frosted plum is on its way.
