Hi,

So I'm looking for a womens long sleeve silk shirt for a max of £100. Ideally in a khaki green or maybe cream. They like Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker, French Connection, Mint Velvet and the like.

Could maybe stretch the budget if it was perfect.

TIA 😊

Reiss have some nice silk shirts/tops.

I'm hankering after one of these. It won't arrive in time so this is practically useless as a post, I just wanted to share.

That doesn’t look silk to me?

It's silk but unfortunately only a size 4 available.

@GatherlyGal I love that. Would you come back and let me know what it’s like and how the sizing is when you get it?

@Nochoiceleft This has arrived. It's lovely. I sized up because shirts are always tight over the F cups. It needs to be tucked in but that's fine.

The colour's nice but I hope it looks better on you than in the picture. That seam over the bust is very strange. I suspect there's a reason I've never seen a garment designed like that before. Sorry, Spinet.

I think it's a fairly common style - I have a Wrap shirt like that but unfortunately it is indeed very unflattering over an E cup

Suits me as I can't afford it currently!

Thank you @GatherlyGal

The Everlane shirts are dreamy
