A great fitted blouse

The price is, admittedly, a bit high for what the product is. But if you can stomach that, or snatch it on sale, it's a phenomenal piece. Seems way too hard to get a blouse this flatteringly fitted these days! Other note: the tag says dry clean only. To save everyone the cost of experimenting, I tried a gentle wash in a was bag, on cold, and a low heat tumble dry. The shirt is completely undamaged, but it wrinkles a LOT. So, if you hate dealing with wrinkles, I'd probably stick to the dry clean. But if you want to wash at home, you're probably not going to hurt it.

Too sheer for regular use

Blouse was cute nicely and fit me well but was so sheer a camisole would be necessary. I don't want always to need two layers nor did I want to dry clean a casual blouse, so I returned it.

A Classic

I love this blouse but the price is a killer, the fit is perfect for me as I am small busted, in the end I just could not justify the price...but if I had the money, I would buy two. I am not sure why this would need to be dry cleaned as I have blouses of this fabric and I always launder mine on gentle and have never had an issue.

Nice but not worth the price

The model sold the shirt for me because of the fit. I typically wear a size 8 or M which is what I ordered but after trying it on, a small would have been perfect. I ended up returning altogether because of the material - I don't believe the quality justified the price. I expected it to be softer with more of a cotton feel. It felt very synthetic like the inexpensive brands you can purchase at Target or Walmart.

Perfect white shirt

Great tailoring and just a bit of stretch so has a nice semi fitted appearance. Wonderful smooth touch. A great basic that will last for years to come. Perfect with pencil skirts, wide leg slacks or partially tucked into skinny or boyfriend jeans. Downside...pricey and dry clean only!

Great if you're not busty

Great fabric (opaque); nicely stretchy when reaching, but NOT for you if you are busty.

All Button Down Shirts Should Be This.

Perfect fit. Hangs so nicely. Love the tapering waist and the non flimsy fabric. Gold standard of button down shirts.

Sizing challenge

I had to exchange a few times because the fit is very strange. I wear a size 8 or a medium, but the medium in this shirt does not give room across the bust. I really liked the fabric and the design so I went up to a large and it was huge! Sleeves way too long. Had to pass on this one.

Theory makes a classic well cut white shirt

I'm wear 33 C cup to provide coverage for the upper portion. I will wear it dark jeans or black slacks. Wearing one's hair pull back it a nice away to show the odd the neck and collar span .

perfect white button down.

I’ve purchased this from Theory when I was smaller and absolutely love it. Everyone needs a classic white button down. Expensive-yes. I wait until it’s marked down a bit.❤️❤️❤️

Gaps at the chest

I ordered online and was immediately disappointed with the quality of the fabric. For the price I expected a somewhat heavier cotton, but you can see your skin tone underneath and it's very very stretchy which made it feel cheap to me. That aside, the shirt isn't made for anyone with a larger chest. I went up a size knowing this can be a challenge for me, but there was still a gaping space between the two chest area buttons. I had to pass on this one.

Nice shirt!

Great quality however sadly I had to return. The medium was too big and the small gaped at the buttons on the chest. Disappointing.
