Some are good and some have not lasted. I would check out Lands' End and Eddie Bauer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1087263 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 17:07:24 +0000 Sveta 1087263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like my Foxcroft non-iron shirt from NAS much better than BR non-iron shirts and it is a bit longer.I am seriously considering a Foxcroft tunic length now (I stupidly missed it when it was on sale some time ago!) and hope it would work great for tucking in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1087083 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:10:20 +0000 Jjsloane 1087083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Foxcroft (sometimes found on Sierra trading post at good prices or Nordstrom Rack) and I like the Jones NY non-iron (I do have to size up 1 for the bust, but they recognize women who have one at least) and also the LL Bean wrinkle resistant pinpoint oxford (not the most form fitting, but I wash in machine and hang to dry and only touch up the collar with the iron a bit. I got a tunic length from them last year in white and it's a workhorse for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086980 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 05:46:05 +0000 Amy 1086980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, thank you! I'm glad to have some shirts to check out now. My search so far has been frustrating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086976 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 05:37:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1086976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Foxcroft here. I also used to wear Eddie Bauer no-iron shirts. Haven't tried them in a long time (I just don't wear this style of shirt anymore), but I liked the quality and the price was very reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086908 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:46:51 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1086908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently ordered a few from Charles Tyrwhitt.&nbsp; I think it is ctshirts.com</p> <p>I really like them and find they fit nicely without being too loose or too tight anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086853 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:38:36 +0000 rae 1086853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to say Foxcroft. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;keyword=foxcroft#keyword=foxcroft&amp;type=keyword&amp;page=1&amp;category=s6000040&amp;defaultsize3=&amp;size=regularxs_regulars_regularm_regularl_regularxl&amp;width=&amp;color=&amp;price=&amp;instoreavailability=false&amp;lastfilter=size&amp;sizeFinderId=0&amp;resultsmode=&amp;segmentId=0&amp;keywordSortEngine=Default&amp;partial=1&amp;pagesize=100&amp;modifiedkeyword=brandlabelname%3Afoxcroft&amp;contextualsortcategoryid=2375500&amp;shopperSegment">http://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?o.....croft#keyw</a>= </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086849 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:35:48 +0000 Amy 1086849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info, Donna!

Watch for their Anniversary sale. I purchase one every year then when they are on sale. oh, And I end up getting the petites to fit me properly so you may want to try both petite and regular. </p> </p> <p>ETA - this is the one I got at Nas this year. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/foxcroft-long-sleeve-fitted-shirt-petite/3503297?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=2307&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_8_D" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/fo.....ry-persona</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086740 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:07:52 +0000 Greyscale 1086740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, you're right that they're not great for curves. I'm a bit&nbsp;curvy for my size, and J Crew is generally longer and straighter than I am. Everlane is good on me but their shirts are a less professional cut.</p> <p>The best buttondown I own is Theory but I bought it used and it was still quite expensive. Their shirting fabric has more nylon than I'm used to and somehow it holds its shape perfectly. I did go up a size (as always with Theory), but it fits my chest. However, I'm not super-curvy so your mileage may vary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086739 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:05:24 +0000 karymk 1086739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Banana ones, slim fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086728 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:55:07 +0000 Amy 1086728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions. </p> <p>Does jcrew have styles that work on a curvy figure? Last time I tried clothes on there, I walked out feeling really discouraged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086727 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:53:37 +0000 LACeleste 1086727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J.

I got this one! Foxcroft has the best quality non-iron button-downs I've ever found. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/other-than-brooks-bros#post-1086696 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:33:35 +0000 Amy 1086696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where do you get a nice crisp button down shirt? I used to buy some at banana republic, but their no iron shirts this season are shiny. I don't want shiny. Gap's are too flimsy. The nordie's clerk I talked to today showed me the Nexx blouses, but they silky. Express blouses have a v-neck above the button portion. </p> <p>Why is such a basic so hard to find? </p>
