Calista

Calista – Blue Striped Blouse

Light, bright and full of freshness, the Calista blouse reinterprets traditional girls’ blouses in a particularly easy-to-wear style.

Sky-blue stripes, a delicately ruffled high collar and generously gathered sleeves create a silhouette that feels both elegant and natural. It looks as though it has stepped out of an old family album, while remaining perfectly suited to life today.

Like all Priam & Lila blouses, Calista is designed to be worn for years, accompanying a child through several seasons before being passed on to a little sister, cousin or friend.

Inspired by European traditions

Before modern children’s clothing emerged, girls wore blouses that offered comfort, protection and elegance in equal measure.

Calista draws on this heritage with a silhouette designed to move naturally with a child. The sleeves have generous volume, created by gathering at the shoulders and cuffs. The high collar, finished with a delicate frill, softly frames the face.

Its gently flared cut allows ease of movement while retaining an elegant, well-defined shape.

Light, bright elegance

The sky-blue stripes give Calista a distinctive place in the collection.

Softer than a red pattern and livelier than a plain blouse, they bring light and freshness without ever feeling excessive. This delicate palette pairs naturally with grey knitwear, tartan, pleated skirts and pinafore dresses.

A blouse that brings to mind summer walks, gardens in bloom and long family holidays.

A piece made to last

At Priam & Lila, we believe children’s clothes should be able to stand the test of time.

The cotton used for Calista has been chosen for its durability, softness and ease of care. The cuffs, collar and gathers are designed to retain their elegance even after repeated washing.

Slightly roomy at first and then increasingly well fitted, the blouse naturally accompanies a child as they grow.

How to wear it

Calista pairs beautifully with the collection’s pleated skirts, as well as pinafore dresses and traditional coats.

Worn on its own, it becomes a bright, characterful statement. Layered beneath a dress or waistcoat, its frilled collar and cuffs add a discreet touch of detail.

Its versatility makes it one of the easiest blouses in the collection to wear.
