Axes Femme Jasmine Blouse and Skirt

Hello everyone and welcome to a new post I would like to show you this very elegant Jasmine blouse and skirt combo from Axes Femme today. This outfit is super comfy and perfect for spring and early summer. The embroidery on the blouse is fantastic!

I showcase one of my Disney pieces every two weeks, you can check out my other posts if you like. Last time I showed you my Shimamura North Mountain Anna Ankle Boots.

If you would like to know more about the brand and about how you can get these dresses, I have got you covered in several posts. Here are some resources. My How to Buy posts for Secret Honey apply to Axes Femme too in most points 🙂

The Jasmine Blouse and Skirt

Ok, ok. I messed these photos up… My face is blurry an all of them. But, since the Jasmine blouse and skirt look good, I decided to still use them. I do not think anyone will miss my face too much 😉

Here is the set from the front! The tassle came with the skirt and the skirt has belt loops to wear it with. But I actually prefer to wear it over the blouse to accentuate the waist. I like my smallest point to be highlighted.

Here is the set from the side. You can wear the skirt with the opening in the front or back. I like it in the front. I don’t know how to feel about my skirt opening up in the back… 😛

And here is a picture showing you the blouse and skirt from the back. The embroidery on the blouse goes all the way around, which is very nice 🙂

The Facts

I see these two pieces on mercari regularly. But usually not in the teal colour way. That one is a bit more rare, probably because it is the best colour for a Jasmine Disneybound.

Size and Closure

Both skirt and blouse come in just one size. The blouse is cut loosely, it fits a bust of around 100 cm, although the underbust seam will be too high then. Now that my bust is around 92 cm, the underbust seam is more or less in the right place.

The skirt has an elasticated waistband which is very comfy to wear. No zippers on both pieces.

The sleeves of the blouse have elasticated cuffs btw. Very comfy to wear.

Measurements

(Amateur-)measured with shirring extended:

Chest of blouse: up to around 100 cm
Waist: up to around 98 cm (but I was able to wiggle it over my 103 cm hips last year)

Fit on me

Now, I do like the fit. The underbust seam sits almost in the right place and the skirt is not tight anymore. I like the width of the shoulders of the blouse. And also the length of the skirt. Both pieces are very comfy although I think the blouse might be a problem if you are sensitive to materials. The sleeves have an organza overlayer and it is a little bit scratchy. I am sensitive to these kinds of things though. Might not be an issue for you. I just want to mention it.

The Embroidered Blouse

I really like this blouse, it is very pretty and elegant in design. I do like to wear pieces with interesting cuts in my day to day and this one sure has a great one! Here it is from the front on my floor:

And here it is from the back. There is a little button at the top that closes the keyhole detail in the back:

What's up with those Sleeves?

When I bought this blouse online, I was not aware of the fact that the sleeves have two layers of fabric. The layer on top is actually an organza layer, I did not notice this when looking at the pictures!

Cut Details

I love a gathered bodice… Especially over the bust. Now, that my chest has shrunk 15 cm, I am happy about cuts that make it look a bit more… voluminous ^^’ So, I do love this detail. There is more gathering around the underbust seam, both in the front and the back.

You may already have noticed the lace used to decorate the neckline on the photo above. Here is a close up of it for you. There is no lace in the back unfortunately. It stops at the shoulder seam. Also: The top part of the blouse is not lined in the front, as you could think from looking at this picture. It is just facings. Which makes the blouse slightly transparent.

There is a little key hole detail in the back. There is an elastic loop to close it over the plastic button. The button does look quite high quality for the fact that it is just plastic.

All the Embroidery

Around the bottom of the blouse, we have the beautiful embroidery in gold. Four different motives from the movie as well as a pattern and the embroidery along the scalloped edges. I love the embroidery on this blouse a lot!

Here are detail shots of all the motives as well as the pattern and edges:

The Skirt

The skirt has a fashion layer with a character print and on top a tulle layer with an opening that can be worn in the front or the back. The skirt itself does not have that much volume and is A-line.

Axes Femme has a very similar level of quality to Secret Honey, so this skirt also has a lining layer.

The tulle is very fine and soft. The edges are finished with satin bias binding which is a very nice detail. Brands tend to leave tulle edges raw… (Secret Honey is actually a culprit of that… Shimamura tool). Finished tulle edges are a breath of fresh air 🙂 Although I believe that this was more a design choice to make the skirt opening visible. But I take what I get.

The Belt

The skirt comes with this golden tassel belt! I like this one very much. I just wished for it to be like 20 cm longer.

The chord is done with normal gold but also a strand of a glittery gold cord!

The tassles are also done with golden threads that are very fine. They are actually a bit dishevled already, I will have to comb them through at some point.

Print Details

The skirt has a very busy and detailed print with characters from the movie as well as patterns that remind of patterns we know from countries in the area Agrabah is supposed to be. The characters are sometimes upside down… I find this a bit odd, but maybe they wanted that for some more visual impact?

Here are detail shots of the different motives. I have turned them all the right way up for these shots but on the actual skirt, they are also sometimes upside down. The colour is a bit too blue and saturated btw. I wanted you to be able to see the patterns and characters well. The colour of the skirt differs from these photos!

Here is one last (blurry) photo of the whole outfit 😀 Gosh, I really fluffed these up… To late, no time to do everything again, I hope you do not mind my blurry face too much 😉 The blouse and skirt look good, that is all that counts, right?

I do like it but it is not really my style… Don’t know, I just prefer Secret Honey. The quality is really great though! I like Axes Femme’s quality a lot.

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed this post and loved looking at all of the pretty details of this Axes Femme Jasmine skirt and blouse together with me. I wish you a good one and hope to see you in my next post

Love,
Ella
