It should be much easier to fit. <a href="https://bleusalt.com/products/the-classic-shirt?variant=31669246296177&#038;sscid=11k7_vbfqz" rel="nofollow">https://bleusalt.com/products/.....11k7_vbfqz</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303973 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 21:08:28 +0000 Suz 2303973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right -- makes sense, Janet. I think if you find the right shirt but it is too long, the length alteration is a snap.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303972 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 21:03:56 +0000 Janet 2303972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the heads up! However, Suz, I don’t think I can do a petite shirt — sleeve length is unlikely to work for me (too-short sleeves drive me bonkers). My Boden sweaters/tops are a good sleeve length in regular. Unfortunately, when I looked up the shirt on the US site, my size (US8) is sold out in all colors. The UK site shows different stock, and of course the sizes are different, so gotta be careful with that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303957 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 19:57:07 +0000 Suz 2303957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boden will give you the petite length measurements if you drill down on the site.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will warn this is not the thickest weight shirt -- that is fine for my purposes, but YMMV.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303954 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 19:47:51 +0000 Style Fan 2303954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, the Boden shirt is back in stock in lots of sizes.&nbsp; I am going away, or I would order one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303953 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 19:33:36 +0000 Janet 2303953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurel, that’s a good idea! I may be asking for a lot of one shirt to be both a bit roomy AND layerable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303951 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 19:16:56 +0000 Laurel 2303951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may be "out there"---depends on what sort of "layering" you are wanting to do, Janet---but I found my PERFECT WHITE SHIRT for layering by purchasing a lovely poplin dickey from COS. &nbsp;I ended up getting 4 of them, with different collar styles and fabrics, but the white one is a workhorse for me under cashmere sweaters---gives the look of a full shirt, without all the fit problems and the bulk. &nbsp;I don't see them in stock, but several show up on the re-sale sites if that's something that interests you. &nbsp;It's so nice to know that it fits and the collar always looks great. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303942 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 18:49:17 +0000 Janet 2303942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestions, all!</p> <p>SF, I like my F&amp;E shirts but they are super wrinkly and floppy. Nice in summer but not what I’m after at the moment. I would like something with a little more crispness and structure but not a traditional fitted shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303924 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 18:12:36 +0000 Style Fan 2303924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brie, Frank &amp; Eileen shirts are fitted. Shop bop has some. I am on my phone so I can't do finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303892 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 16:22:09 +0000 BrieN 2303892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No suggestions but I think I've looked at all the suggestions and didn't see a single blouse with any type of dart. The lack of shaping on blouses like this is one reason they are hard for me to buy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303863 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:31:46 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2303863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Jonesy's recommendation of Alex Mill shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303831 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 02:52:03 +0000 Column 2303831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alyssa Beltempo swears by Power of My People. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt/page/2#post-2303829 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 02:47:53 +0000 sarah 2303829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just another vote for getting the shirt hemmed if it's too long. I've done that on a number of occasions, and it always turns out great. It's a straightforward alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303810 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 00:20:46 +0000 Style Fan 2303810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my eye on the Boden shirt.&nbsp; Some of the sizes have come back in stock.&nbsp; I would order one if I weren't about to leave on a trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303781 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 20:01:30 +0000 LaPed 2303781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Everlane Relaxed Oxford mentioned above. It is pretty long on me, but I'm only 5'4" and most of my height is in my legs. Even so, the way it's cut makes it hang really nicely; it's one of the few shirts I'm happy wearing both tucked and untucked. The other places I'd look would be Alex Mill and Power of My People. Both brands do great shirts!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303751 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:38:51 +0000 nuancedream 2303751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe take a look at Quince for some white shirt options? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303749 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 2303749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this one on Garnet Hill. &nbsp;It’s organic pima cotton, $79.00. &nbsp;The length on the size 8 is 27 7/8”, sleeve length is 24 3/4”. &nbsp;It is a relaxed fit, so I guess there’s some wiggle room on the size. </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.garnethill.com/signature-organic-cotton-shirt/womens-fashion/tops-tees/shirts/648406?listIndex=2&amp;uniqueId=648406&amp;isNewProduct=true&amp;defattrib=Color&amp;defattribvalue=WHTE">https://www.garnethill.com/sig.....648406?lis</a></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303746 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:31:07 +0000 Dottie 2303746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe give untuckit.com a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303741 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:02:27 +0000 Jonesy 2303741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alex Mill always has a few white button downs, and they are great quality (and in my experience, not too long or too boxy or too fitted). </p> <p>ETA: They have a couple right now, see pics!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303734 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 15:58:59 +0000 Janet 2303734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurie, that would be awesome! I'll let you know next time I'm coming to the area. The Uniqlo is at Pike &amp; Rose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303733 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 15:55:56 +0000 Laurie 2303733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - how's this -I'll meet you if you come to Rockville again to return something! Where is the Uniqlo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303727 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 14:45:53 +0000 Janet 2303727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! The Lauren shirt looks nice too, but again, pretty long! </p> <p>I’m thinking of ordering the Uniqlo (can’t bear the thought of two hours of driving to go back for it) — for the price, it’s really good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303724 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 14:40:50 +0000 Angie 2303724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw all the Uniqlo white shirts yesterday. They looked nice, <b>Janet</b>! Didn't try them on.&nbsp;</p> <p>My suggestion is to find a good enough shirt that fits on the waist and hips, and have the waist taken in a little for shape. Those too long lengths are annoying, though! I hear you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ralph Lauren and Boden get my vote. Boden all sold out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303723 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 14:33:54 +0000 Janet 2303723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, I was in Rockville for brunch with friends and popped into the Uniqlo there. I think that is the closest one, and a 45-min drive away on a Sunday, so rare I get to visit one in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303722 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 14:14:34 +0000 Indigoprint 2303722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that shirt Janet. I think it has a winning combo of side slits and high-low hem. I also like a popover. Sadly when I looked online they were all sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303717 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 13:08:18 +0000 Anonymous 2303717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is Uniqlo Janet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303710 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 12:48:00 +0000 Janet 2303710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elpgal, I’ve never tried Aritzia, probably because there are no physical stores near me. I wonder how their online return policies are. Will investigate. </p> <p>Kyle and Suz, will look at Everlane, thanks! I have a very old white tee from them that was cut too straight for my hips with not much stretch and it got sent to my sleepwear drawer, where I still use it! It’s like iron — never seems to show real wear. </p> <p>Cee — haha! As a photographer, ISO has another meaning to me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303691 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 04:56:52 +0000 Cee 2303691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I misread the title at first and that you were unwell... In Australia " iso " is slang for isolation !&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303690 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 04:54:02 +0000 Kyle 2303690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one from Everlane is 100% cotton, and it’s not boxy or overly long. I’ve not had personal experience with this particular shirt, but can vouch for Everlane quality overall. They call this off-white, but it looks white in the photo, so that might need to be addressed.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-silky-cttn-relaxed-shirt-offwhite?collection=womens-tops">https://www.everlane.com/produ.....omens-tops</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-really-good-white-shirt#post-2303689 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 04:53:36 +0000 Suz 2303689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know whether Everlane could work (didn't check the lengths) but they have two current relaxed versions -- one boxy cropped and one longer.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
