I've sewn for decades and am familiar with fabrics. The fabric in this one is a miss. For a "dressier" shirt, I wouldn't expect it to be a wrinkled mess coming out of the package. Even worse, I washed and dried it and it's horrible. One can't wear it without ironing, and the minute you sit down in it, it wrinkles badly all over again. Really, DT. A touch of poly in this cotton would have been a game changer. You added the spandex, why not the poly to make it permanent press? As is, I know now not to buy any more cotton shirts from DT. The quality just isn't there. The rest of the fit points don't even matter because of this. Who feels good wearing a wrinkled shirt?

For a tunic type top that's how it fits on me. I could have been a little longer . still it has a nice fit.
This shirt had great potential. Usually, I love anything with pockets, but the pockets on this tunic drive me crazy. Instead of being tacked in place, they flop willynilly in all directions, which is super uncomfortable and aggravating. The look of the top is great, even without ironing; the sleeves are, as is customary for Duluth, too short, so I roll the sleeves or leave them unbuttoned. For as short as you think women's arms are, we shouldn't be need or be able to reach those flopping pockets. I will likely keep the top and buy some iron-on fusing to get the pockets out of the way.
Love a good print in a pretty cotton top - this checks all the boxes. Ignore the description that says it has chest pockets - it doesn't, thank heavens! I dont need the extra bulk for a feature I will never use. Agree 100% with the commenter who wants the red print in plus size. Bring it!!!
This shirt is a bit stiff on the first wearing but softens up. I am a fan of collarless shirts as I think they are a more comfortable fit while still looking tailored. But where are the color choices for plus sizes? I came back to get another shirt and clicked on the red pattern only to find its not made in all the sizes. Shame on you Duluth. Its the perfect shirt going into the holiday season.
