White Button Down Shirts
Hi, all!
I'm in the market for a white button down shirt, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions (that I would easily be able to get in the U.S). I just measured myself at 37.5 inch bust in my 65H - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Beżowa Perła (533) (so for a padded bra I imagine it'd be a bit higher), 28 inch waist, and 38.5 inch hips. The bane of my existence, however. is that while I have fairly small measurements it's almost entirely because I'm short and have a small ribcage. I'd say I'm on the fat side of average. I also store a lot of fat in my stomach, which makes me worry re: button down clothing.
Brands I was thinking of were Bravissimo clothing (though it looks like I'd be between a 6 really curvy and a 6 super curvy), Exclusively Kristen, or Campbell & Kate (although I seem to be on the edge of their sizing too *SIGH*). I would really appreciate any reveiws or pictures you could direct me towards, especially for any companies you might suggest that make custom clothing.
EDIT: Thanks for the help, everyone. I decided to order from Exclusively Kristen because of two primary reasons: A. Bravissimo is a large, popular company already and I figured it would be nice to support a small, Black-owned business B. Campbell & Kate's fitting process scares me, lol. I promise to post a review once I get my shirt!

oh man, button up shirts have been hard for me to find as well. What I’ve done is I find a white button up shirt that fits my bust, shoulders, and sleeve length. Then I take it to a tailor and have the waist tailored in. From what I spent on the shirt and the alterations, still comes out less expensive or about the same, depending on the starting prices of the shirt, as if I had tried to purchase from Bravissimo. Might be something to consider.
I like eshakti because they make things to your size. What about this one?
