LINKS & THINGS MENTIONED
Checklist for shirt shopping:
- 2 fingers of space around the neck when the collar is closed
- Sleeve length: slightly shorter than your wrist (arm straight, held at shoulder height)
- Cuff can't be taken off without opening the cuff buttons.
- Enough space under the armpits
- Waist fit (how tight it is): according the your taste
- Darts: at least one (or even 2 darts if you are rather busty), to not feel tight at the bust level when stretching your arms backwards
- Cross your arms (hug yourself) to check how much space you have at the back
- Placement of the buttons: close enough to each other & one button is at the level where it 'pulls' most
- Length of the shirt: long enough to stay tucked in your pants when you raise your arms
- Bonus point: fabric quality (thicker / heavier-weight and tightly woven means higher quality and durability)
Happy shopping!

#business #office #wardrobe #shirt - Jak na to + styl
Hi everyone! This is your 2nd chance to ask me a question for next week's Q&A! I will pick questions that I haven't answered in the one that I did 3 months ago... so let me know! And HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Justine Leconte officiel i would love a video about formal dresses. I wanna know how do you decide the fits in terms of lengths and if we can put on stockings underneath. Also, Its difficult understanding how far we can go with a formal dress not turning fancy... Thank you so much for these videos, love you! ❤️
Justine Leconte officiel Great video 👍
Please don’t stop saying “Hit like if you learnt something new” ♥️
I would love to know your thoughts on vintage clothing shops. Love this fit series. Thank you for teaching me how to be better dressed.
Great tips as usual. Thank you Justine! My request is shapewear. I never understand how to check the fit, the garments just feel awfully tight when trying them on. Could you talk about this and perhaps give a few pointers?
The golden question: which brands should regural people look for? It is so hard to find decent clothing, that I can personally afford, eg. Burberry and Carrolina Herrera are prohibitively priced vs Primark or H&M which are very low quality. Lion of Porches, Decenio or Trussardi, for example, are ok prices, but still... is it worth it? Not to mention the fairness in material sourcing and crafting...
I’ve never really owned buttoned shirts as an adult because of fitting issues. This video truly shined a light on my issues with buttoned shirts especially on the breast area. Thank you for this video.
Love your videos 🇨🇦
I love how informative your videos are! I learn so much from you :)
+Iulia Blaga thanks!
When senpai notices you! *.* Stay awesome, Justine.
You are gorgeous inside out. Thumbs up.
Thanks Justine! I have not worn a button up shirt for years - I am apple shaped and have not been successful in finding one that is flattering. This video has shown me why! 😉
what kind of shirt would be good for us apples?
I’m a busty ruler and have similar issues!
Merci, Justine! Wow, this video supplies excellent, succinct, & helpful guidelines for determining whether a shirt fits properly. I thought I knew this stuff, but when I think back on uncomfortable shirts I've worn over the years, I now know why they bugged me so much. I'm busty, so having the darts sit in the proper place is the most important consideration. If that's not right, the shirt will never be completely comfortable or look as good as it should.
Hi Justine! That was very informative! As a women in her mid 50’s I think these videos are helpful to younger women as well . Growing up we had classes like Home Economics which are no longer available . While much of the content of those classes I was not enamored with( I actually preferred Shop class where we learned how to use a lathe etc) we did get a lot of good information on how clothes should fit, tailoring , how to play up one’s figure and even learned the basics on how to sew and appreciate fabrics and drape. I think the information you provide is very helpful ! Thanks and keep up the great work!
I'm busty and darts are not something I was aware of when shopping for shirts ...thanks Justine ..now I know👍👍
sk youdon hey fellow busty girl. if you find a shirt brand you like and remember this thread then let me know!
Marks & Spencer make ‘No Peep’ shirts that have hidden, reverse-fastening, buttons, at the bust-line, to help prevent gaping. Bravissimo also make shirts with extra room in the bust.
excellent, thanks for the tips!
Thank god for this series, it's going to save my life. I have such troubles with fit! Thank you!
I love how practical your videos are. This series is super useful! Keep up the great work, Justine! Greetings from Poland from another shirt lover! :)
Thank you so much, Justine! Your videos are always so helpful!
Nicely done. Thank you for all the good fit markers. I appreciate it! 😊
This series is fantastic Justine, thank you!!!
Absolutely loves these informative videos. They are very helpfull! Thank you, Justine! ❣️
I've worn shirts for work so did have loads of them, I still do have some but got rid of them when I retired. After listening to you advising I've definitely learned a lot. Xxx
Great advice. Thank you for explaining it so well. 👍
I liked the music touch in the end .
You know Justine you give clarity and words to some thing one might be following, as in My case.A very crip definition to it.Love it!
You're a gem!
Thank you so much, Justine! Really excellent points. Will copy this check list and keep it always!😘💕
Hello Justine, this is exactly what I do to know whether the shirt fits me perfect. Glad to watch it ☺️
Thanks so much. I have a closet of shirts that don’t quite fit right!
emiliebova Lol, same.
These fit videos are soooo important. Most people -- me included -- don't know what to look for in fit. We may know that we look better in one thing or another, but we may not be able to say why. I really appreciate you doing these, Justine!
Thanks!
You are absolutely amazing and I appreciate all the work and effort that you do! Thank you!
Love your advice! It's always soo useful and transferable
So interesting! Thanks for the video, Justine!
Yess!🙌 Thank you so much for this video
an educative video as always. thank you.
Brilliant as always
I love your videos! Thank you for teaching us the right and elegant way to dress up!
I’m always learning something new with your videos Justine! thank you and have a wonderful Valentine’s day!
This is so straightforward and helpful. Thank you so much!
This is very helpful. I'm always afraid to buy shirts because of my bust. I have one white shirt that is by far feels comfortable but I still am conscious of the button on the bust. Thank you 😊
Super informative and really useful!
Super useful video, thank you. I sew as a hobby and have just made my first shirt. After watching this video, the next shirt I make will be an even better fit! Thanks 👍
Hey Justine. I’m a new subscriber and glad to find your channel. I love the way you guide us about style ♥️♥️♥️
Thankyou so much, I really needed this one.
Thank you! Really needed this video
Great video, Justine. I will take these tips with me when I shop.
Thanks, Justine, this was so helpful 😊

Extremely useful thank you love your videos ♡
I always learn something new with your videos. I love the way you present yourself and the subject in question. You make it look so easy. Thank you so much. Xx
Very helpful - as usual! Thank you Justine XO
Justine Darling, I watch your channel everyday and find you charming and your information is expanding my mind regarding fashion. I just got my black flats and clutch with strap. How easy! Yesterday was the first time I consciously payed attention to wearing compatible colors. And, it’s ok to not have a rainbow wardrobe! Who knew? ! Bravo!
This is such a great, informative video Justine! I love the way you explain things, always clear and you're super nice :D
Loving this series!
Super as always! Thank you Justine!
Wow! Caught this video early! Thank you so much - as useful as the suit video :-)
This video was super useful! Just starting to hunt for internships, and I had a problem in relation to the bust of these shirts. I ended up getting a shirt that was way too big for me and hiding it under my blazer. Will keep an eye out for shirts with darts now! Thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Your videos are very informative and straight to the point, thank you and keep up the good work!
You look so beautiful in this vid! Thank you for helpful tips!
Thanks for this series! I work as a costumer, and many people have no idea how their clothes are meant to fit.
You're amazing! Thanks again.
Helpful and thorough guide! Many Thanks!
Thank you so much! This was very useful!
Just what I was looking for.... Thank you so much Justin 😘
Wow Justine.. That's a lot of useful info that i can use to buy a perfect shirt for me. Thanks a lot :)
Thank you Justine, another one that is bang on the mark! ❤️I think I was doing most of the things you talked about in your video. Great to hear you say them, though as you're one of the insiders and you work in the industry. Didn't know about the southern and northern countries, but have the length problem with my very tall and long limbed husband! I attended a sewing course myself 2 years ago, so it really helped to have even a limited knowledge of patterns and fits when trying out clothes. Your notes will make it all the faster. I was almost tempted to buy men's small size shirts to make sure I had enough room and they weren't too fitted around the waist and bust.
Thanks Justine for your great videos!👍😘
As always Justine your videos are so helpful! As a tall and plus-size hourglass figured woman I LOATHE buying shirts here in the US!!! The sleeves are never long enough, the bust never fits right and typically going up a size puts everything else out of proportion and I feel like I'm wearing a tent, haha. These tips will be SUPER helpful for me!! Thank you for all you do to educate the everyday consumer!!!!
Thankyou Justin very helpful.
Thank you !!! Happy Valentine's Day to you too !!
I continue to be impressed by this woman's posts. Even though I am a middle aged, short and rounded , I usually come first to see what J has to say on the subject. And to date, she has been spot on. Merci encore, Mlle Justine.
Merci Justine
Thank you so much, Justine! this was extremely helpful! :)
Hi Justin, thank you for making this video.
Thank you, Justine! You have made finding a blouse that fit right simple.
Thank you Justine. I love everything about your presentation...not only are you clear with your descriptions and illustrations, your manner is playful and relaxed. In other words, as always, you are adorable!
Consistently some of the most useful content I see on CZcams. Thanks Justine!
Yay time for another video!!!
Very informative. I am starting to sew as there are quite a few standard wardrobe items that never fit my body, and I have decided to learn to make my own. This will be very useful when I get to shirt-making (I am on simple things like cushions and small bags now, to get used to the process). Thank you again, Justine.
you always make my day....😊
That was really helpful! Thank you very much 😄
Amo esta serie, (en un par de meses iré al sastre) muchas gracias Justine!!!
Super, super helpful!! Thank you so much :)
Super useful, thanks!
Wow .. thanks for the great video.
I like how genuine you are and how you just be yourself ! You seem very kind and sweet. Thanks for the knowledge...the tips were very helpful. I always struggle to find a perfectly fitting shirt and I was almost close to accepting the fact that I can never get the perfect fit in ready made garments...but I can now use the ideas you gave. Thanks again !
What a great tip about looking for Northern European brands for longer sleeves and leaner bodices -- it never occured to me that sizing was regional (I always thought it was just whimsical.) Sleeves (and inseams) have always been an issue for me as I have long bones and there is no way to lengthen a sleeve that I know of. Wonderful information -- thank you!
you're very welcome!
I did not know these rules, thanks for enlightening!
Love these tips Justine!
thank you!
Very usefull, thank you!
I am really enjoying these videos. Very informative.
thanks, very helpful tips. Now I know what to look at when I am buying a shirt.
Thank you for all the effort you put on your videos!
thanks for watching them!
This is why I love you Justine!
Very practical and down to earth. Much love from Malaysia! ❤️
happy Valentine's Day in Malaysia!
Hi Justine, Well, you've done it again --another amazingly done and very useful video! Thank you for all the thought you put into each one of your videos. xo, SS
My gosh- things I never thought of or knew! thanks
Fantastic! So useful.
very good! thank you!
I really appreciate you mentioning the points in the description! ☺️
glad it's helpful!
Wonderfully complete help. Darts are back!!!
I love videos like this, there are so practical! 😁
Thanks so much!
Great tips. Thanks!😉
Happy Valentines Day ! Thank you. Debra in California
wow. really, these things should be taught at school! and the wors part is that shop assistants who should know these, are absolutely not knowledgable in these things. Thank you Justine for sharing all this with us.
A well tailored shirt is so elegant, crisp and sophisticated. I love wearing them but often choose to wear a loose blouse which is much more comfortable. Perhaps I just haven’t invested in well-fitting shirts, so this video is very helpful. Now I’ll know what to look for. Thanks as always, Justine!
I so needed this. Thanks😊❤
you are the first comment! :-D
Justine Leconte officiel yayyy!!!😍
Thank you! Great informations.
Good tips, thank you Justine. And Happy Valentine's Day!
to you too!
Thank you. Very good vid.
