Classic Ladies Country Shirts

What is the difference between a shirt and a blouse?

The primary difference between a ladies shirt and a blouse is the fit. A shirt is more structured, featuring a rigid collar and has it's history rooted in menswear. A blouse tends to be softer in construction, often features more decorative details and is a looser fit. At Cordings we have a variety of formal, relaxed and Liberty shirts.

Is Tana Lawn™ cotton or silk?

Do Cordings ladies shirts have a tailored or a relaxed fit

Our ladies' shirts are cut with a relaxed, generous fit in keeping with Cordings' country clothing heritage. This allows for ease of movement.

Which shirt style works best under a ladies' tweed waistcoat?

A classic buttoned cotton shirt is the ideal choice to pair with a ladies tweed jacket. Depending on the simplicity of the jacket colour/pattern, a brightly patterned liberty shirt can also be an exquisite choice.
