I want all three colors! No need for "work clothing" for me - these will look great with skinny jeans. Right off the bat I'm picturing them with Louis's quilted vests from last year, but there will be LOTS of options. I know I'll be adding some of my Linea necklaces. I'm off to compare measurements with the Kate shirts before ordering.

shoes, please let us know what you find out. I was planning on checking the same thing before ordering later this evening.

Thank you.

OK, now bear in mind that these measurements are for XXS, but this is what I found. Chest is the same (35'') for the wing collar blouse and the Kate. Sweep (hip) is two inches larger on the new WC blouse (39" vs. 37" for the Kate). WC blouse is one inch longer (26") than the Kate (25"). So I ordered my same size, XXS. I can always use a little more room in the hip area, but not in the chest.

Thank you for looking into this, shoes, and relaying the info. I'll probably stick with my normal size.

A big thanks to all for your sizing input:

Seka-you tried

Lyn08 and shoes-thank you for the chest measurements I requested. It helps!

And cjmcp-I close my eyes and wish (again) for the Robyn too. A Robyn with the wing collar! That would be cool!

Although I love a wing collar, I may decide to pass on this one. It just sounds too much like Kate - which I never wear due to tight bust and shortness...still in decision making mode...

I have a white Kate shirt in my closet although I have not worn it yet! The shortness is a plus for me as I'm only 5'2" and many of Louis's tops are a bit long for me. I would really like to know how this new wing collar shirt compares. I like that this one doesn't have the front pocket. Arms look like they may be a little long. May have to try one possibly in blue.

I'm so glad I saw this post. It reminded me that I have a beautiful white,no iron shirt with a double wing collar that I purchased from Coldwater Creek years ago hanging in the spare closet. I moved it into the every day rotation...you ladies are right...great with vests.

The CC no iron blouses from 2-3 yrs ago are terrific. I own several different versions and many duplicates as they were fabulous. I hated when they changed their sizing...never could find one that fit right. I am so glad I have so many and very thankful they wash up so nicely. They do look terrific under vests and I am sure will look good with the heathered sweater.

I'm another who continues to hope for the return of the Robyn. No wing collar for me because it's too short.
