Tunica Operis

Alabama Chanin and E.M. Reitz teamed up to create the ultimate work shirt. The definition of work is left to you: Constructed from fine Italian poplin, this intentionally long blouse can act as a coverup while painting a canvas, or worn over silk trousers to be an elegant armor for an evening of canapés and conversation.

She has a confident collar perched on top of a button-up placket. When unbuttoned completely the placket stops below the apex, creating a sexy open neckline. Meant to be worn untucked, her front hemline is slightly shorter than the back with a delightful rounded hem. The front bib is masterfully constructed with symmetrical hand inch tucks. At the center back you will find a dainty vertical loop that adds charm and function. Her back yoke and cuff are shirred, creating romantic volume.
