CURVE Pure Cotton Checked Longline Shirt

This does come up big so order a size down and it's still slightly big but I like it as it's comfortable in the hot weather. Also being cotton it's cool.

I was amaz d at how much I loved this shirt. I am a total clothes snob, and rarely buy anything from M and S apart from the Autograph range as the fabrics are so much better. However this is lovely. Beautifully soft cotton and an excellent, shapely cut. I haven’t washed it yet so there could be tears if it washes badly!

I bough this in my usual size and it fits OK. It is very long - I am 5’7’ and could wear it as a dress. It looks nice and the material is OK. It is good for casual wear and would probably look good with leggings (if you wear them). I wore mine all day and found it cool and comfortable but I would expect no less from an M&S shirt. The Curve range seems to have had a few ups and downs with sizing but this seems true to size though you may want to try a size up if you want it really loose.

I am thrilled with my new shirt - it is just the length I enjoy wearing with jeggings/trousers as it hides the lumpy bits I prefer to keep under wraps! It is cool for the heat we have just been experiencing and I know that when it gets cooler I shall be able to dress it up with a blazer, or just add a jersey. The size came up a bit larger than expected but I always prefer a little looser than the opposite! I also loved the black and white colourway. Well done M&S - you are getting it right for the curvier woman.

I bought this online as I couldn't find the brand in-store. I wanted a casual shirt, baggy so I could wear a vest underneath. It's perfect with blue, black and white jeans. Good quality material and well made.

Comfortable, looks nice - please do more of this type

Lovely comfortable longline shirt. generous tops to the sleeve for comfortable fit and freedom of movement. Very pretty on, a versatile, easy wear garment.

loved material - too much of it

I like my new curve shirt, I've bought 2; the black and white check and the white and blue stripe. They fit nicely over the shoulders and chest without gaping and enough wriggle room. I'm a short 5' 3" size 22, so bought size 22. The cut around the hips/tummy is generous and does not become tight when you sit down! To those who say that the shirts are far too big, I'd like to point out that that is the stylish 'look' which goes with over-size shirts, these shirts are not supposed to be the conventional straight up and down fit. They are cut to cover bulky hips and tummies, and do the job well. OK, so they don't make you look any slimmer, but there's no unpleasant straining of fabric or fastenings either , so they look good, stylish and cool to wear. I'd also like to add that until M&S re-designed their plus size range, I've had to shop at other retailers and pay around £70.00 for a similar shirt.. So, don't drop the ball M&S, keep your eye on the designers, and keep us curvy girls happy. Thank you.

A really useful longline shirt, looks very fresh, really good lightweight fabric, easy to care for.

Looked so nice online..but totally didn't fit me. Disappointing.

Had a long shirt last summer in navy blue & it looked like a tent (size 18) there's just something about one solid colour on an over shirt that looks huge. The checks on this shirt really seem to create an optical illusion that just stops its size being the focus which is FANTASTIC!!!! I am a size 18 in cotton tops at M&S but my upper arms are big due to weight gain/loss so I bought the size 24 shirt as I hate a shirt fitted because shirts don't give when you move, but love them really loose. This shirt is really big on me but sooo comfortable, no restriction in movement, so it will be so cool in summer. Plus its super length covers all the bits us women hate. As a lot of shirts seem to be hip length these days which totally highlights the bigger bum! This shirt covers all that! Plus a colour that goes with anything. Well done M&S... more of these please!

This is a great fitting shirt, which can be worn on its own with trousers or leggings or over a brightly coloured t-shirt. It's coming on holiday with me because it's a lovely lightweight cotton. Definitely recommend this shirt. Hope M&S produce more of the same style but different colours and patterns.

I tried this item on as I was hoping to be able to wear it with leggings and skinny jeans but sadly, it's yet another item from this range that didn't come home with me. I thought the quality of the fabric was quite poor and, as a size 18, it was huge on me, at least two sizes too big and looked ridiculous. I've tried so many pieces in this range now, all of which have either been way too big or way too small, despite them all being a size 18, that I feel like I'm repeating myself in my reviews, but I really do hope M&S take on board the comments about sizing made by myself and other reviewers and this issue can be rectified so I can start wearing this range!
