Anyone else remember wearing white oxford cloth (100% cotton) button down shirts (collar buttoned down) under a Shetland sweater with Levis or your HS uniform skirt? Ahhh simpler days.
Blouses buttoned up the front but not the collar. Button down collars were preferred under pullovers sweaters because they looked neater under them and also under sweatshirts.
No liquid knit, fabrication, etc. Nice to remember but I love all the fashion choices we have today and who cares what we call them. Easy care fabrics (took forever to iron that oxford cloth) are a Godsend.
I have Google to find exactly what I want.

In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter?? I'm sure people understand what was meant. Seems some are wound too tight and need to get some fresh air instead of taking the time to complain about such a thing.

I always button down my button up shirts, and I unbutton them down too. Have I been doing it wrong? 😕

I agree with @Kachina624
And besides....WHO GIVES A HOOT? Seriously!!!
Just selling a shirt with buttons.

Gosh @Becky from Texas
From reading the posts from @Zhills and @Caaareful Shopper
you are incorrect.
Once again, the dictionary has confirmed there is nothing wrong with what was said.
Why all the nitpicking? Does it really matter to a potential purchase?

Many QVC customers don't speak fashion garment industry jargon, and don't think of a collar when they hear button down shirt. QVC knows their customers.

Seriously....do we have to correct each host for using their own terminology vs. what is considered correct??
