Red gingham shirt challenge

I would love a red gingham shirt like in this image. This one is perfect but is £135 which is waaaay too much for me. I also need a size 18 or 20, which narrows the field... Any thoughts where I might find one?

This one fits much looser, but could be a contender? Maybe buy it smaller?

@Frazzlerock wow I want that shirt you linked to!

OP any good? www.retrostarlondon.co.uk/womens-relco-gingham-shirt/

Ignore that, it only goes to a 16 🙄

shinyshinyhair · 03/03/2022 09:24

Thanks @Frazzlerock - it's lovely but it's not the shape I'm looking for unfortunately. Appreciate the thought though! 😊

@OldTinHat thanks, a pain it only goes up to a 16!

@shinyshinyhair Google says they stock a 20 so might be worth a call in case they have any lurking in the back?

shinyshinyhair · 03/03/2022 09:33

@OldTinHat cool thanks!

Yeah I see what you mean @shinyshinyhair. I was trying to find you a more boxy fit like the one in your OP. I could only find fitted styles when I googled, except that loose one. Tricky! That first one is lovely, but not worth £135!

Frazzlerock · 03/03/2022 09:41

It looks very Uniqlo. I wonder if they have anything similar

shinyshinyhair · 03/03/2022 09:46

@Frazzlerock ooh nice, thanks! I'd like red ideally, but tbh this one is great! I'm definitely going to order it - hope the biggest size is big enough! 🙏

Glad to be of help! I'll keep my eyes peeled for a red one Smile

Men's but the one you are looking at isn't fitted so a men's shirt might work. I am sure they used to do women's fit but I can't find any. They are decent quality though, I had one that lasted years (while it went from oversized, to fitted, to too small!)

Thanks @rbe78 and @JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon 😊🙏
