(I've got just enough chest that button down shirts are hit or miss.) I think Madewell would be a great place to look for that sort of style in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1138009 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:34:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1138009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the info ladies, this is a great place to start. I ordered a few from the gap today as well, we'll see how they fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1138006 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:19:34 +0000 Suz 1138006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the J. Crew one that Carambola has. It is a bit longer and looser fitting, more like a boy-shirt. I didn't like the colour for me, but it might have been different than the one that is currently available. The fabric on the Halogen is softer as well. Thicker, I think, but softer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1138002 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:14:35 +0000 Suz 1138002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - sorry - just came back here now.&nbsp;</p> <p>So...I got the regular sized Halogen shirt vs. the petite. It is not short on me, not like on the model at all. But I wouldn't call it "long" either. Still, I wear it over skinnies. See below.&nbsp;I have a short waist but a long rise so am relatively "normal" in torso length. And I wear a extra-small size shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sarah, the pockets don't create trouble for me, but remember I'm really small busted, so it's not generally an issue for me or not something I am self-conscious about.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: my small bustedness may also affect the length. But then recall that my shoulders are relatively wide, so that typically takes up the same slack that a larger bust does.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137996 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:00:57 +0000 cinnamon fern 1137996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have last year's version of this, which looks the same, and love it:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.massimodutti.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/duttius/en/massimoduttins/675005/3576565/TENCEL%2BDENIM%2BSHIRT">http://www.massimodutti.com/we.....5005/35765</a></p> <p>It fits me really well (I have a lot of trouble finding non-boxy shirts, since my shoulders and back are usually a size bigger than my hips, and two sizes bigger than my waist). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137945 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 22:03:09 +0000 DonnaF 1137945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of years ago, I bought a chambray shirt for J.Jill that I really like.&nbsp; It was described as fitted or shaped and has vertical darts in both front and back.&nbsp; I have difficulty in getting a neck, shoulders and bust fit that I like since my shoulders are narrowish and slope a bit, my neck is fattish, and my bust is fullish.&nbsp; The J.Jill shirt really flattered me at the top (unlike BR shirts I've tried), but was more boxy than I prefer.&nbsp; Enlarging existing vertical darts is even easier than hemming so I did it myself and am happy as a clam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137932 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:49:58 +0000 carter 1137932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the tunic version of this one: <a href="http://www.foxcroftcollection.com/collection/blouses-1/denim-tencel-fitted-roll-tab-sleeve-blouse.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foxcroftcollection......louse.html</a></p> <p>It's more denim than cambray, but I love it. Their measurements aren't quite in line with my body. I wear size 6: chest 36.5, waist 27, hips 37, shoulders 39. Their shirts are the perfect length on me (5'5") to wear over leggings or skinnies. I'm not sure why I got the tunic. It's pretty long.</p> <p>I have several Foxcroft shirts, some 15 years old that still look great.

The fit is roomy and plenty long for me (I'm 5'4") without being too boxy. <br /><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shirtsandtops/denimchambray/PRDOVR~15008/15008.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../15008.jsp</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137834 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:56:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1137834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah we posted at the same time!&nbsp; With the same question, hee hee.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137822 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:49:05 +0000 Aquamarine 1137822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following this thread because i have started to look for one too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137820 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:48:02 +0000 Elizabeth P 1137820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the Halogen one looks short in the photo (I like the price!).&nbsp; Is it?&nbsp; Or is just a long bodied model?&nbsp; I want to be able to wear it out over my pleather leggings, or skinnies, and feel "covered".</p> <p>Thanks Gigi - will check those out too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137816 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:46:04 +0000 sarah 1137816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I just asked you about yours in your thread. Do you find that the pockets "show" when you layer under sweaters? Also, it looks rather short in the Nordstrom's pic. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137806 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:39:57 +0000 Suz 1137806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine's the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-chambray-shirt-regular-petite/3692163?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">Halogen one</a>. I had the BR denim one from several seasons ago but did not like the fabric or cut.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137802 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:31:14 +0000 Gigi 1137802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried one on at either Loft or Ann Taylor the other day--can't remember which. It is a newer style, I think, because it wasn't on sale. It was a very fitted shirt and not boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-can-i-get-a-great-chambray-shirt#post-1137799 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:25:48 +0000 Elizabeth P 1137799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want one!</p> <p>I need one!</p> <p>Tried on one at BR a while ago, and it was waaaaay too boxy on me.&nbsp; So if any of you have had this experience with BR, and have found one that fits in a more flattering way, esp around the hips, please share.&nbsp; As long as any sizing info you may have.&nbsp; I needed a L in the BR.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks!</p>
