Cornelia – White Blouse with a Frilled Collar

Some garments pass through generations without ever losing their charm. The Cornelia blouse belongs to this family.

With its stand collar edged with a delicate frill, slightly gathered sleeves and refined cuffs, it evokes the blouses once worn by young European girls for family celebrations, Sunday church or walks into town.

Simple in appearance, it is nevertheless the result of particularly demanding craftsmanship, faithful to the artisanal tradition that inspires Priam & Lila.

A blouse inspired by traditional designs

The Cornelia blouse captures the spirit of classic blouses from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Its silhouette is slightly more fitted than that of a traditional peasant blouse while retaining plenty of freedom of movement. Gathers at the shoulders give the sleeves volume, while the stand collar elegantly frames the face.

The cuffs are finished with a subtle frill that discreetly recalls the details of garments from the past without ever feeling excessive.

Every element has been considered to create a soft, feminine and timeless silhouette.

Craftsmanship made to last

At Priam & Lila, even our most delicate pieces are designed to be worn for a long time.

The Cornelia blouse is made from cotton selected for its strength as well as its softness. The seams are finished with the same care inside and out to provide impeccable everyday comfort.

The collar and cuffs are constructed to retain their shape over the years, even after repeated washing.

This is a blouse to be worn, loved and then passed on.

A surprisingly versatile piece

Cornelia’s simplicity allows it to work with almost anything.

It pairs naturally with a pleated skirt, pinafore dress or wrap dress from the collection. Worn beneath a wool coat or cape, its frilled collar immediately adds texture to an outfit.

For special occasions, it becomes the ideal foundation for an elegant look. For everyday wear, it simply brings a touch of refinement to a young girl’s wardrobe.

A blouse designed for childhood

Like all our clothes, Cornelia was created with a simple idea in mind: children should be free to enjoy their adventures.

The cut allows the sleeves to be turned up slightly when a child is younger, then to accommodate growth over several seasons. The cotton withstands repeated washing and retains its whiteness and shape.

Because a beautiful children’s garment should never be inherently fragile.
