Hi everyone,

This is a terribly boring request, but I'm getting pretty desperate. I live in New Zealand and I have spent the past two MONTHS trying to find white button down shirts for work. I need women's shirts. Normal shirts. White shirts. Without:

- ruffles
- coloured or unusual fabric (such as silk)
- bibs
- distractingly-fancy designs
- cut-outs or holes
- too-thin see-through fabric
- colourful or metal buttons
- lace
- giant puffy sleeves that wont fit under a jacket
- coloured stripes (or spots)
- odd little collars

This, to me, sounds like a staple item that should be readily available. However, there is virtually nothing out there in white fabric without one of the aforementioned little fashion mishaps which would be cute in a business casual atmosphere, but totally out of place where I work. So far my only score has been an exquisite Versace shirt from an op shop, but one shirt does not a work wardrobe make...

Aside from country road (who are possessed by those awkward little collars at the moment) does anyone know where I can buy very nice, large-collared simple white button down shirts? International shipping is strongly preferred but not an absolute must as I have family in the States.

As the exchange rates are pretty bad, a great sale would go a long way as well.

Thanks so much for any help!

Also, if yore just looking for something basic & not designer I know that I bought plain white dress shirts @ Old Navy a couple years back. This may sound silly but have you tried a uniform store @ all?
