Like what I am, they are currently 10 quid off the already very reasonable price ... I have all the colours I could possibly need or wear

But don't they need ironing ?

I don't do ironing.....

CuttedUpPear · 02/10/2014 23:14

Link please or it didn't happen.

So I have this one www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/128356 in navy, black and bright blue. Yes they do need ironing but it's no big deal especially if you iron when damp from machine

Looks good. Are they true to size? Not sure if I should order M or L (I'm 38 inches at fullest part of chest)

BettyMoody · 03/10/2014 05:40

I find UNIQLO tiny on top half. Plus no bloody free returns or stores anywhere near me

Sonotkylie · 03/10/2014 07:16

Free returns via Collect+ if that helps. The shirts are fantastic ....

Brillenbar · 03/10/2014 07:22

The shirt I linked to is quite a relaxed fit if that helps too

I have one and it is lovely. I think they are quite relaxed fitting too. I am a 12 and have a medium and it is quite loose. Might wear it today actually!

kaykayblue · 03/10/2014 09:10

Oh god I have fallen in love.

I can't afford any new clothes though (as usual).

That cream coloured silk shirt is perfection.

Orangeanddemons · 03/10/2014 09:13

They don't fit anyone with big norks ime. I have ordered them but find the silk really thin and see through. So they went back

Apatite1 · 03/10/2014 09:20

I'm definitely big norked! The L is very big for my waist and shoulders, and I don't think M will fit my boobs. The eternal dilemma continues...

maybemyrtle · 03/10/2014 09:56

Good spot Brillenbar! I'm in London again on Weds so I'll see what's left. I currently have the sleeveless version in the grey and the collarless long sleeve one in navy, and neither are see-through but the off-white one was. I'm a 10 on top and wear a small.

mulberrybag · 03/10/2014 10:06

I've always wanted one but have NO idea how to style it or what to wear them with, usually live in jeans and jumpers with boots/wedges but want to smarten up a bit. Any advice on what you all wear them with would be massively helpful. sorry to hijack

Sonotkylie · 03/10/2014 10:15

I have big norks - G cup and otherwise a 10/12. My M fits beautifully and skims flatteringly over everything. So worth a try even for bigger norks. Its as much to do with the rest of your shape and relative proportions whether it works ...

I have in mind wearing it with jeans and heels or a pencil skirt and keeping it simple.

Behoove · 03/10/2014 10:22

Would a large fit a busty 16? I would love a silk shirt but usually buy XL to prevent buttons gaping

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 03/10/2014 10:29

Eve on the AllWornOut blog is busty and she wears M in that silk shirt. They are terrific, and excellent value for money at £30.

Onedropoflove · 03/10/2014 10:30

I cant decide. I just dont know if id wear it. They dont have many sizes left.

SorrelForbes · 03/10/2014 10:31

I'm a 30GG (10/12) and the M fits Ok in the collarless style. The L was too big everywhere. Annoyingly, the only had L in the Navy in store (Oxford St) and now they don't have a M on-line.

Darkchocsprinkles · 03/10/2014 11:20

I've been looking for a black one - thank you Brillenbar Thanks

Orangeanddemons · 03/10/2014 11:34

I'm a 32k. Nothing fits me Sad. I can get into a large, but they are just miles too big around the hips

PhoebeMcPeePee · 03/10/2014 13:29

Thanks I've just ordered the cream in a M so fingers crossed it fits (12 top 14 bottom)

FrazzledFandango · 03/10/2014 14:05

I'm a size 12, small of shoulder and very large of nork. I always fall for lovely relaxed fit blouses but I have finally learned my lesson - in this I would just look short, fat and dumpy!

The royal blue one is lovely though.

Taystee · 03/10/2014 14:56

Ooh promising. I'm a busty G cup and ordered a couple of these in L before seeing this thread. Just waiting for them to arrive. There's 10% cashback if you go through quidco too.

PhoebeMcPeePee · 06/10/2014 20:58

Well I've got my shirt and it fits beautifully but I'm not sure why I ordered the beige as it's a bit bleurgh on me. I can see it looking great with fitted black trousers & heels but definitely needs something to lift the colour iykwim - chunky necklace with some sort of colour?

Taystee · 07/10/2014 01:03

Mine arrived today and the medium easily fits in case anyone's wondering about sizing. I am a 32g and usually wear a size 12.
