More Woven Shirts w/Collars...Please

It's not just QVC, but I find so many fashion retailers have abandoned the collar on women's shirts. 

 

I entered a search online for what I wanted:

 

women's eyelet shirt

collar

long sleeves

button down

 

I wanted something with some interest to it, not just a button down.  This is what I picked from the very short list.  It's more than I wanted to spend, but I love it.  It's from Chicos:

 

I fell in love with the full sleeves and the nectarine color.  It has not arrived yet.

Where are all the beautiful collared womens' shirts?

Oh, wow!  

 

I love, love, love everything about this shirt.

 

The color, the eyelet fabric, the sleeves, etc.

 

Just perfection!

 

Enjoy!

I love it!  It's truly something you could dress up or down.  All the hosts say that all the time whether true or not.

I like collars on shirts I wear in fall, winter and spring, but in summer they are HOT.

Collars (especially band collars) add time and expense to the manufacture

I love white eyelet in the spring; so fresh. Makes me think of Easter dresses and bunnies. Would love to see some eyelet shirts from the Joan Rivers line again.

I can't tell you "where" the collared shirts are for women but some ladies have mentioned J C Pennys.  Ralph Lauren still shows beautiful collared shirts along with Talbots, Appleseed's, and Coldwater Creek on occasion.  You also might want to look at Land's End.

 

Many women have a problem with the buttons across the bust pulling apart and can't get a good fit going up because the shoulders are too big.

 

A pull-over top can fit many more women, therefore, making more sales.

@Caaareful Shopper  I agree w/you.  I think the reason we don't see more of these shirts is because the designers know they can make more money by making t shirts.  They have no collars, buttons and those darn 3/4 sleeves save money, too.  I get so tired of seeing t shirts.

 

The one you showed is adorable and so feminine.  I'll have to look into that one.  Enjoy.
