WOMEN DRESS SHIRT

A dress shirt (in American English), or simply shirts (also button-front shirt or button-up) is a shirt with a collar, a full-length opening at the front from the collar to the hem and sleeves with cuffs. Dress shirts are predominantly used by men, since women usually wear Blouses. The front opening is fastened using buttons or studs, and the cuffs close with buttons or cuff links. Dress shirts are normally made from woven cloth, and are often Accompanied by a jacket and tie, for example with a suit or formal wear, but the shirts are also worn more casually without.

While the term button-down is sometimes used in American English to refer to shirts in general, it is still generally used, as originally, to refer to a buttoned shirt with a collar. In British English, a dress shirt is known as just a shirt, dress shirt while specifically means the more formal evening garment worn with black-or white-tie, also discussed below. Some of these formal shirts have fronts and stiff detachable collars attached with collar studs.

Shirt wearing

Bill Gates wearing a dress shirt. A dress shirt is ironed to remove any wrinkles and can be treated with starch for added smoothness and stiffness. The hem is tucked into the trouser. For informal-or formal wear, a coat and tie (or bow tie) are compulsory. When a tie is worn, the top button of the shirt is fastened, so the tie can fit snugly around the wearer's neck with a neat appearance.
In casual usage, this is often not followed, with many choosing to wear shirts not tucked in, or leaving the top button undone with a tie. This is commonly done by children and young men, particularly as part of school uniform, where it is not allowed. Even more casually, some now choose not to iron their shirts, or use nontraditional 'non-iron' fabrics.

Fit
In the US, ready-to-wear sizes of dress shirts traditionally consist of two numbers such as 15 ½ 34, meaning that the shirt has a neck 15.5 inches in girth (measured from center of top button to center of corresponding buttonhole) and a sleeve 34 inches long (measured from midpoint of the back and shoulders to the wrist). However, to reduce the number of sizes needed to be manufactured and stocked, an average sleeve length is sometimes given in the form 15 ½ 34/35 (indicating a neck 15.5 inches in girth and a 35 inch sleeve). Since the cuff frequently features two buttons, the cuff diameter can be reduced so that the cuff does not come down over the hand, allowing the shirt to fit the shorter length. Since the sleeve and neck size do not take into account waist size, most shirts are cut wide to accommodate rather large belly sizes. Shirts cut for flat stomachs are usually labeled, "fitted", "athletic fit" or "trim fit". The terms for fuller cut shirts are more varied, sometimes explained on a shirt maker's website. Very casual button-front shirts are often sized as small, medium, large, and so on. The meaning of these ad-hoc sizes is similarly not standardized and varies between manufacturers.

In the bespoke (custom-made) industry, where each shirt is made from an individually drafted pattern, these sizing problems are avoided, but there are still different ways making the shirt fit. While many choose to cut the sleeve long, and have the cuff catch on the hand to regulate its length, some prefer the much harder option of using a high armhole and carefully tailored shape, so that the cuff can be loose and still sit in exactly the right place wherever the arm moves.
Made-to-measure shirts may not fit quite as well as bespoke, but can provide a similar degree of customization and fit at a lower cost
