Dress shirt

[vixpy1]

Having failed to get my dress shirt completely clean, Itook it to mum and she has condemned it. I need a passable one thats not too expensive, wheres best to buy one?

[fidgits]

Depends on what you mean by 'expensive'.. I had to buy a new one and just went for a 35 quid one...

I suppose 'cheap' would be Burtons and the like, other than that, your well known department store should do them.

[Mrs Trackside]

Don't wear one. Just wear your tux and bow tie. Trousers are optional.

You'll be even more unforgettable Charlie!

I think that might put people off their dinner

What a discovery, 6 days before the event!

Try M&S...

But take your whole suit along with you so you know it all looks good together.

You might get away with it if we don't have sausages

Patient in curtain 4 for you Betty, the old fork through Penis mistake

[fidgits]

Tesco has them - dunno price

Rather than go for a 'dress shirt', and then getting it out the cupboard again next year, perhaps go for a normal white shirt (with normal cut back collar), but perhaps a slightly more expensive one.

This way you can wear it during the year aswell and it's not wasted. (personally, I prefer the full collar look anyway, but that's an aside!).

I have to sit with and be seen with him Mrs Trackside - pleeeeeeaaaaase don't encourage him!!!!!

(At least you dragged it out of the cupboard in time Charlie - I bet it hasn't been touched since last BTAP?! If you want help picking one out this week, give me a shout)

My dress shirt was ok, but its never been a particulary good fit.

Its the DJ/trousers that are too small thats the problem...

Yes, that would appear to be a common problem!

Are you thinking something like this?



Coloured Tux's optional

NO, DO NOT do this.

Because if you do, you will look like a pikey who thought "Stuff it, I'll wear a white work shirt instead."

Charlie, you're a man of sartorial legend <cough>. Don't let the side down by skimping on a bloody shirt.

[TonyHetherington]

no no no I'm not talking about a work shirt! Don't go to M&S and buy yourself a plain cotton shirt, I'll then agree with Greg....but what I meant was buy a posh, nicely cut shirt but just get one with a full collar so you are able to wear it more than once a year!

I think that this is what Tony had in mind:



Personally I think that that is a really great look, in every sense.

This is a dress shirt
