Oh, I can see that might be a problem.  Although I find that smaller size shirt to be quite generous.

 

However, I take a 32B bra, so...not full busted at all Cat LOL

I was wondering about the definition of French cuffs. Thanks to all for helping out.

I have been ordering French cuff silk blouses from Lilysilks recently. Very pretty and drape nicely.

Not the best silks, but I'm no longer traveling and able to shop in big cities often. These are well-made, and with a gentle dry cleaner, should last several years.

I would not launder at home. They aren't that luxious, strong, beefy silk I've worn for years and years that could have been laundered at home if one chose to do so.
No one on QVC makes blouses in natural fibers (even all cotton) anymore. The Joan River's line might be closest to high quality and workmanship, but their costs are prohibitive for polyesters or blends IMHO.

@BirkiLady.  I really don't have a need for a silk bouse, need something more utilitarian and sturdy.

 

I've  notice an increase in cotton shirts at QVC.   Years past, D&C always had cotton/poly shirts and Gary was quite proud they were easy care.  Suddenly, this year, they're cotton or cotton/Spandex.  Now this new Stacy London line has 100% cotton blouses.  Joan Rivers has always had a plethora of them.

@Kachina624 Have you tried Brooks Brothers? I have a collection from there that I’ve had for years. Love them!

I just posted to @cheriere that I buy men's white French cuff shirts and have done so for years.

 

I'll normally get a 15" neck and 32" sleeves.  The fit is generous, but I'm OK with that.

 

They look great with dark blue jeans.


 

That is a great idea!  I'd have never thought to do that either.  I don't know much about how a man's shirt would fit me, so I'd definitely have to go in and get some help.

 

I do like that men’s shirts offer different arm lengths too.  I have long arms I guess because most long sleeve women's shirts on the Q are a bit short.  It would sure be nice to have one with Trench cuffs that fit!😃

Thanks for sharing this with me.😃❤️❤️
