Rhea | Trendy Striped Blouse
Wasn't sure about ordering online at my age. So glad I did, the quality is beautiful and fits a treat. Every penny well spent.
First time ordering and I'm thrilled. The dress is gorgeous and the handwritten note from Pam made me smile. Already planning my next xx
Finally found clothes that are comfortable AND look beautiful. Been searching for this for years. I'll be back for more very soon!
What a find! Beautiful dresses, a wonderful team and proper care with every order. Easily my favourite boutique now. Thank you Pam x
Bit nervous about sizing but it fits beautifully. Flattering, soft, and the length is just right. So pleased I ordered.

"I had it on for three hours in the sun, in and out of the car, and I forgot about the sleeves entirely. My sister said I looked ten years younger. I told her it was a long sleeved blouse on one of the warmest days of the year."
The Rhea is the blouse our customers buy when they have quietly given up on long sleeves in summer. Too warm, too thin, or too obviously there to cover something. This is the one that changed their minds.
A softly striped long sleeved blouse in a lightweight fabric that breathes, with a relaxed crew neckline and an easy cut that flatters without billowing. The stripes are the classic kind, the sort you would have called timeless in a Boden catalogue twenty years ago. Light enough to forget you have sleeves on. Easy worn loose, easy tucked into trousers with a small necklace.
Why women our age keep coming back for it
- Long sleeves that are not warm. The whole point. A lightweight weave that stays cool in the sun, so you are not peeling it off in a car park by eleven.
- Easy arm coverage, without looking like coverage. It reads as a nice blouse you put on without thinking, not as something you wore to hide.
- A relaxed cut that flatters. Loose enough to skim, structured enough that it does not billow. Lovely untucked, smart tucked in.
- Three quiet colours, sizes 8 to 18. Soft blue, khaki and a gentle grey. Most of our customers buy two.
Why the price is what it is
Ā£42.95 for a blouse you will actually keep wearing is, frankly, on the suspicious side. Most of our customers ask. So here is the honest comparison, written on the back of a notebook in our office.
| Boden striped jersey top | £60 |
| White Stuff striped blouse | £49 |
| Torquay Boutique Rhea | £42.95 |

A few of the recent reviews
"The first long sleeve I have worn to a summer lunch in twenty years. It is genuinely light, it does not cling, and I stopped hiding my arms in photographs." ā Margaret, 64
"I bought the blue and the khaki. Lovely with white linen trousers and a small necklace, and it does not feel warm at all." ā Jennifer, 58
"I have three cardigans I bought only to cover my arms at dinner. I have not reached for any of them since this arrived." ā Linda, 71
