Grey silk blouse. Really, it shouldn't be this hard.

Just that. A grey blouse, long sleeved. Not satiny. Any shade of grey. Preferably no pocket but I can live. Buttons down the front, if possible, but something more blouse like would be fine.
I've been looking for ages. I've been into so many shops. I've been offered pale blue, cream, pink...why is this difficult? I am at the point where I am prepared to pay silly money so don't hold back...
(Should confess that I have seen and rejected the ones Uniqlo had in a while back. Too flimsy...)

Here?

Can't find my way to the European site for some reason ...

Winser London and Iris and Ink at the Outnet are my go - to for silk shirts, they both do lovely ones and I have a grey one from both places, just had a look though and they don't seem to be doing any grey at the moment. Joseph have some beautiful ones, or depends what your top budget is, this one is in the sale, may be too blue though, it's difficult to tell on my phone.

Thank you! Thank you! I love MN.
Will browse the links properly in my lunch break - at a first glance the Thomas Pink one looks very promising and there's a store round the corner so fingers crossed!

Tolstoy, the Thomas Pink one is dry clean only.

Saurus72 · 12/02/2015 18:57

I always ignore dry clean labels for silk clothes - I've never had a disaster washing them on a 30 degree delicates cycle.

Topshop also has one. Will try and find link later

I love the colour of that first poetry one. I have been searching for something similar for ages!
