Frequently Asked Questions
Our shirts are made from a cotton-based fabric with a silk-like feel, known as Bemberg. It has a smooth drape and gentle sheen like silk, but is breathable and lightweight, so it feels cool and comfortable in warm weather.
Our classic button-up shirts are available in sizes 10–20. They are cut to skim the body rather than cling, with room through the bust and tummy so you can move and sit comfortably. If you prefer a looser fit or are between sizes, we generally suggest choosing the larger size.
Yes. Most of our customers are mature women who want age-appropriate pieces that still feel modern. The collared neckline, slightly longer length and relaxed cut make these shirts ideal for women 40+, 50+ and beyond, including plus-size figures.
For casual days, wear your shirt open over a camisole with jeans or white pants and roll the sleeves to three-quarter length. For work or dinners, button it up and pair with tailored pants or a skirt, adding a belt or simple jewellery. You can also half-tuck the front for a more relaxed look or layer the shirt over a singlet on holidays and cruises.
Most prints offer good coverage and are not overly sheer. If you prefer extra coverage or choose a very light print, we recommend wearing a simple camisole or tank underneath. Many customers like this layering option for added comfort and modesty.
The cotton-based, silk-like fabric relaxes well on the hanger. Light creases usually fall out after hanging or steaming in the bathroom while you shower. For a sharper look, use a warm iron on the reverse side. Avoid very hot irons, which can flatten the sheen.
We recommend a gentle cold hand-wash with mild detergent, then drip-drying on a hanger. Avoid tumble drying and bleach, and use a warm iron on the reverse side if needed. Caring for your shirt this way helps maintain the drape, colour and silky feel of the fabric.
Yes. We ship Australia-wide and to selected international destinations. Shipping options and delivery times are shown at checkout, and your order will be packed carefully to protect the fabric and keep your shirt looking its best in transit.
