Jill McGowan

Jill McGowan

The creator of what she likes to call the "great white shirt," Jill McGowan made her debut in the fashion industry in 1994 and still makes women’s shirts her most noteworthy clothing specialty. Prior to 1994, Jill McGowan had immersed herself in the men’s clothing industry, where she specialized in shirt patterns. There McGowan realized that men seemed to enjoy a higher standard of shirts than women. Determined to improve the women’s shirt standard, Jill McGowan made a name for herself in every imaginable shirt style, from fitted to flared shirts, shirts with shawl collars and shirred backs, traditional long sleeve dress shirts and three-quarter bell-sleeve shirts. In women’s shirt styles that stand the test of time, Jill McGowan fashions dress shirts, tops and camisoles from broadcloth, linen, oxford and silk. And while Jill McGowan’s specialty is women’s shirts, she also dabbles in women’s jackets and dresses that reflect her focus on comfort and modern interpretations of classic styles.

I've got a pretty big bust, and I'm used to having to pin wrap shirts, but I dont have to with this one. There's enough fabric, and it comes up high enough on the neck to stay closed -- a miracle! The pattern is a little loud -- folks are gonna see you coming from a mile away -- but I work in a creative field so I think I'll be able to get away with it. Very cute top.

Comments:
The colors were vibrant and I thought the blouse would be exceptional with a pair of white pants next summer, but it just did not fit. I bought a size xlarge as some of the reveiws indicated that it was running small (I usually wear a med-large and I was hoping it did run small, but I think it is true to size). It was way too big so I had to return it.

Comments:
I had to order it three times to get the right shirt -- I normally wear a medium and then I ordered a large and it was small, so I had to go to an extra large to get one that fit me! Even so, I will have to add a pin or a velcro to get it to fit over my bust because it tends to slip a little. I do get great compliments on the shirt and it is vibrant. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, but they are grossly mis-sized.
