DDs barmy sixth form still wear ties Confused,

However, they don't have to stick to absolutely conventional school shirts, any white blouse with a collar and top(ish) button will do.

She has these m.marksandspencer.com/mt/www.marksandspencer.com/easy-to-iron-no-peep-classic-collar-shirt/p/p22269518?colour=Pink in white, but frustratingly the sleeves on the 12 are tight and the 14 is huge. We have kept both, she needs a couple more and would love something that really fits.

(Other M&S styles are £££, she's doing art and science, chances of a £29 shirt meting acid or acrylic paint are too high).

Anyhow, enough waffle, if anyone's older teen has seen anything suitable, either for school or work, I'd really appreciate a suggestion Thanks

There are various ladies work shirts on Amazon from about £10. Most of them are a polyester mix though so may not be ideal.

DD gets her school shirts from New Look, she's in adult sizes.

I wore marks men's shirts in sixth form.

It was the 90s and baggy was ok.

New look is a good idea, poly cotton is fine, I'm not ironing.

I never iron, so DD's never learnt and the ironing board is under a foot of magazines from book case sorting out.

The H&M one is nice, although I fear it would want ironing.

Oh well the junk on the ironing board needs to go to paper recycling sometime.

Your second link is perfect, thanks Farm animals

I'm also sure she's a 14 at H&M because she bought a blouse for works experience there.

I would usually take a 12 but take a 14 in that exact shirt. I have the same arm:body ratio issues
