I'm desperately looking for new work shirts, to wear under suits. 2 problems, FF cups, so normal buttoned shirts are out and yes, I know about Pepperberry, but second problem is that I also hate ironing, and theirs are not wearable without. I don't like floaty shapeless things and t-shirts are too casual.
Now, I have several shirts similar to this, which would be ideal - and they are usually also stretchy, so won't get too wrinkled and are wearable without ironing. Trouble is that mine are ancient and I can't find them anywhere any more. Prefer light colours, but flexible. Need sleeves though, at least short ones. Any suggestions?

Ah, I have a couple of shirts like that too and they're excellent. I bought them ages ago though, from Next and Matalan. Haven't seen any like that recently.

What about [http://m.bananarepublic.gap.eu/product.html?dn=bp100002412G109-04143&dv=1&shopid=1&pdn=bc5037 these]]? Long sleeved but non iron, go up to size 18?

try again!

no, sorry, chipmunk, those are all normal buttoned shirts. the ones I want must be without buttons (a few decorative ones like the one I linked is ok). Will pull and gape otherwise.

hmm-I know what you mean I had some myself.

There was a time you couldn't move for the things in debenhams and next especially.

keeps looking...

I know, they were all over a few years ago and suddenly have disappeared..
And just sewing the buttoned ones together does not work either, as they are usually not stretchy enough to pull on over the head then.

Anybody else seen them around?
