Once a Ben Sherman men’s piece, this reworked navy blue check shirt has been thoughtfully reshaped into an elasticated-waist blouse.

Cut from a soft cotton‑blend check, it has been altered with shortened sleeves and two rows of interior elastic that draw the waist in, creating a gentle bloused silhouette.

The shoulders fall with ease, giving the blouse an open, relaxed line. Original Ben Sherman details remain — the chest‑pocket label, the small signature logo at the hem, the care label and spare buttons — quiet traces of its former life.

Suitable for spring and autumn, and for winter layered under wool — a sweater, tank or chunky knit — where the gathered waist adds shape beneath heavier textures.

Size & Fit

Suitable for UK 14–16, with a comfortable drape and a softly gathered waist that lifts the hem slightly when worn.
