Heavy Weight Cotton-Women's Fit Perfection
This is my second heavy weight cotton Breton top from St. James. I prefer the women's fit on my petite frame. I do size up one size (for a slightly oversized fit); the tailoring of the shirt still looks fantastic one size up. St. James is one of a small number of brands who understand not every person suits white. My coloring suits ecru. As a result, the ecru with a navy stripe is perfection (for me). Love this shirt. Love this brand.
