The Perfect Button-Down Blouse for Plus Size Busts from Foxcroft

The Perfect Button-Down Blouse for Plus Size Busts from Foxcroft

If you’re like me, you tend to never buy button-down shirts because of the horrible things they do to your figure. Boxy…straining over the boobs…shape suckers…generally, just not a good idea for busty plussize women. However, Foxcroft recently asked me if I wanted to try two of their classic button-down tops…which have been specifically sized and shaped for plus size women’s curves. And, as a bonus, my readers can get 15% off their purchase with code FXBLOG2!

I couldn’t resist the classic collared button-down shirt with 3/4 length sleeves in this gorgeous bright pink.

It’s the first button-down shirt that I’ve ever had that doesn’t strain and gap over the chest! The long darts in the front and back add some nice shape, and the collar stands up nicely to frame the face. The first button is a little lower than a traditional button-down, so it feels more open and will show off any accessories you want to pair with it!

I wanted to go for a business-sophisticated look with this button-down, so I softened the lines a bit by pairing it with a lace skirt I bought at Old Navy years ago. The giraffe print belt and gold accessories add some unexpected flair!  Next time, when I want to go full-on business style, I will probably pair this shirt with a sleek pencil skirt and a blazer.

Also, aren’t these paintings gorgeous? Once I saw them in the lobby of the Four Seasons in Chicago, I knew I just had to snap these pictures!

So…all in all…I’m a button-down convert! Foxcroft has the cutest spring collection coming out, so next time you’re looking for a button-down, take a look at the Foxcroft collection online, or go to your local Nordstrom to try them on in person.
