Forgot to mention that there was also a little black bow on a pin included with this blouse, but I don't have any pictures of it. It's cute, sturdy and versatile.
There were also extra buttons included with both blouses.

The navy blouse, which honestly I got on a whim, is also very nice. Also size M. The fabric is striped and very see-through, but that's why they included the matching camisole. The camisole itself is kind of awkward, made of fabric that is slightly stretchy but not enough to be form-fitting. There's a thin line of elastic on the back but everything from the bust down is baggy. It looks really awkward on the mannequin but when I wear it it's not so bad.
They included a matching blue satin ribbon, and the lace is probably custom-dyed because it also matches the fabric quite well. The insides are also finished nicely but the button holes have some loose threads sticking out that I'll have to remove. There are also some white tailor marks next to them but those will probably disappear in the wash.
The cravat is attached by buttons hidden underneath the collar, which in my opinion is much nicer than attaching it with a pin. It's sturdy, I'm not constantly poking holes in the fabric and it's never crooked. The cabochon pin is cute, too. The ribbon is kind of stiff and plastic-y but that just means it will keep its shape well.

All in all I'm very happy with both of these blouses! I've never owned a brand blouse so I can't really compare but in my opinion these are nice quality blouses and definitely worth the price.
