A pinstripe, maybe. eta: here's a <a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/Lela-Rose-Asymmetric-Peaked-Peplum-Blouse/prod91120010/p.prod" rel="nofollow">similar style</a>, though it's sold out. Oh, and here we go, <a href="http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/item10747964.aspx" rel="nofollow">Alexander McQueen</a>.

Still, it really appeals to you. And that is what matters. Perhaps you can try it in a size up and see if you need to size down. H&M sizing can be all over the board. Once you are pretty sure of your size, there is always eBay. Or, they may restock. catgirl on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1362282 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 22:47:17 +0000 catgirl 1362282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you find it could you just let me know what you think of the sizing and quality?

I can always return it - if I find it in the first place ;-) catgirl on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1362268 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 22:34:33 +0000 catgirl 1362268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ornella, you are so sweet! I am not that desperate yet but I may take you up yet. Still contemplating whether I'm being tricked into ruffles somehow....

Or product code, so I can search online too. European and US stocks may vary slightly, so you might be lucky.  Marley on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1362246 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 22:00:18 +0000 Marley 1362246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cute blouse!  Reads ruffly and busy to me.  Also agree with you Una that it has a steampunk quality about it.  I'd love to see you try this out - hope you find it!

Here is something along the same lines but polyester and kind of bleh: <a href="http://www.romwe.com/romwe-asymmetric-rolledup-white-shirt-p-89260.html?SASSource=cjunction" rel="nofollow">http://www.romwe.com/romwe-asy.....=cjunction</a> A beautiful Anne Fontaine in similar color: <a href="http://www.annefontaine.com/clothing/shirts/serena.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.annefontaine.com/cl.....erena.html</a> Marlene, I pinned your pin last night!

Sold out in my size. *sad face* Angie on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1362038 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:00:13 +0000 Angie 1362038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Btw, a peplum is essentially a ruffle. It can be subtle or frilly.  Diana on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1362035 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:55:39 +0000 Diana 1362035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is an awesome shirt. I don't think it's too frilly. The ruffles are stiff, dramatic, and architectural, which is a far cry from the fuchsia cardigan of doom, for example. milehighstyle (Linda) on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1362026 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:41:59 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1362026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really cool - I see it as more of a peplum than a ruffle.  And I love all shades of blue. Zibbets on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361980 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:45:45 +0000 Zibbets 1361980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That doesn't read "ruffle-y" to my eye. I think it could be great on you. To preserve the back side of it you will, however, have to remain standing all day. Angie on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361976 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:41:09 +0000 Angie 1361976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ HAH. I'm also surprised. This shirt looks pretty and ruffle-y, which you've mentioned many times before is not your look. Very interesting. I always say give it a go. You have nothing to lose, Una. Hope you find it and are able to try it. Fun process.  Rambling Ann on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361967 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:33:31 +0000 Rambling Ann 1361967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Janet brings up a good point, ironing that shirt would be a project. Janet on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361947 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:03:01 +0000 Janet 1361947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think of it as "ruffly" -- it's interesting! I can definitely see you wearing this, and I think it could suit your IT shape really well. I would be curious about the fabric -- anything that wrinkles a lot when you sit will ruin that effect. I hate it when a garment with lovely hanging lines gets bad horizontal wrinkles from sitting and bending.  Neel on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361945 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 12:57:35 +0000 Neel 1361945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with everyone here :D It's beautiful! It's ruffly. It has a stiff collar. The length needs to be perfect on a petite frame. But ... I also think this could work well with your IT shape. The ruffles at the bottom would play well with your shoulders. It's an interesting shirt Elizabeth P on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361941 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 12:40:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1361941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah, I'm with unfrumped... all those ruffles realy appeal to you?  I think it's a really cool shirt, son't get me wrong, just surprised it's posted by you. They are too much for me... unfrumped on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361893 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:25:39 +0000 unfrumped 1361893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wait- I thought you didn't like a ruffled cardigan- isn't this kind of ruffly?

Good luck tracking one down!

Very interesting design, though I think it would suit taller women most. I hope you can track one down.... catgirl on "The button down of my dreams!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-button-down-of-my-dreams#post-1361841 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 05:30:34 +0000 catgirl 1361841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This H & M shirt! Is sold out in my size! But is exactly what I have been searching for in a button down style. Sigh. Anyone seen something similar?
