I want a fabulous white shirt

[sarahnova69]

Recommendations please. The wish list:

• absolutely must not be transparent
• nicely and flatteringly cut for my hourglassy figure
• crisp and holds shape well (some stretch is fine)
• funky design features welcome - doesn't have to be a classic white shirt.
• easy to iron a bonus.

Budget stretchable for something worth it. Where do I look? For reference, I'm early 30s and a short size 8 overall.

Watching with interest!

Me too!
Can't find one though, hoping someone will be more useful and help all of us

I have quite a big bust and nearly always have to wear a camisole underneath shirts too - annoying

T M Lewin. Any shirtmaker that does traditional men's shirts and a range for women too.

Also Charles Tyrwhitt have a women's range.

Interesting. Are the above makes cut for the feminine of figure?

I've been contemplating buying a cos shirt but am unsure about whether they pass the transparency test.

I have some lovely cos shirts but the are utter buggers to iron. It doesn't stop me wearing them though!

I got a good one in bravissimo. They do them for larger busts but still with a good waist.

Anything on Jaeger

I can tell you they wash and iron like a dream 🙂

TKMaxx usually have a few nice ones in. I have a lovely fitted stretch one from there, can't remember the make off hand. I have a long body, so getting fitted shirts to fit nicely is the bane of my life.

I got a nice one from Gap . It's textured and I really like it.
I'm pretty booby and it looks nice

I love Ralph Lauren white shirts, they wash and wear brilliantly. I have a few with lovely details on the front but most of the ones online seem quite plain at the moment, maybe sold out in the sales?

Have a look at the OUTNET (there's a lovely Chloe one down to £100 that I can't manage to post link to) or Bloomingdales website for a few ideas if you're not finding much inspiration from regular sites as well, some lovely stuff and on sale too.

Banana republic or Jaegar is where I usually get white shirts from

I have a Massimo Dutti one

This one's lovely for an hourglass shape...not cheap, but it is on sale www.saintbustier.com/courtney-shirt-white.html

You need Anne Fontaine

Expensive but worth it and there's an outlet at Bicester if you're ever in that neck of the woods.

I thought I was fairly open on budget but WHOA Anne Fontaine does some lovely looking but EXPENSIVE white shirts...
