Fabricated in 100% cotton Yarn dye check with a dobby weave floral stripe running throughout giving it a wonderful early Victorian aesthetic which is echoed in the construction and silhouette.

Known for its structured silhouettes and exquisite tailoring, this shirt will not disappoint.

Expertly patterned. There are no shoulder seams. The Front bodice panels, collar, and back yoke are one-piece, darted along the neck for a superb fit.

Heavily seamed for a close fit, much like a Victorian bodice with heavy shirring across the back yoke for ease of movement.

The voluminous sleeves tie at the sleeve cuffs.

No expense was spared, the shaped hem is clean finished with a self-facing.

Excellent attention to detail, right down to the Victorian-inspired embossed heart-shaped buttons.
