Fabric is often the distinguishing factor for women’s white dress shirts.

USER REVIEW
Here’s a review that might help you choose the perfect size: “This button-down has a really nice weight to it and is very soft. I purchased it in a petite XS and S. I find Cloth and Stone to run big and long, which is why I ordered petite. I generally wear regular. Undecided which size to keep, but it’s a great shirt.”

USER REVIEW
“I live in these shirts! I have the white one, and now I have the blue. They are so versatile. I wear them under sweaters; I wear tank tops underneath them; I wear them with jeans and with dressy pants. There are so many different things you can do with them. Dress ‘em up, or dress them down—use your imagination!”
