    Love being able to wear this shirt to work with trouser or a skirt. Then being able to wear it with jeans; comfy, stylish and love the cuffs in the contrasting material.

        I'm a true size 10 and this shirt fits well. It is too lightweight for my needs so is going back as the white version shows up my underwear. I expect coloured versions are not a problem.

                  Beautiful shirt that has a great retro look to it. The first day I wore it I received so many compliments. I think "Jazzy" was the compliment that best describes this shirt! The shade of blue is a real stunner and it looked super cool under my dungarees. A shirt that definitely brings a smile.

                  A great shirt to wear with jeans and a belt. A statement on its own requires little additional adornments.

                      I was really looking forward to receiving this shirt and ordered it in white and blue. Unfortunately I felt that it was poor value for money. The white shirt was made from very flimsy cotton and you could see everything through it. The blue one was a printed design and again very thin cotton. Both therefore not flattering. I am a size 10 but not perfect shape and looked like a sack of potatoes in these shirts!
