Wine Satin Side Ruched Shirt

The ruching runs along both sides of the shirt and pulls the fabric inward at the waist, creating a defined silhouette on what would otherwise be a straight-cut shirt. It's not a cinched or corseted effect. It's a subtle gather that adds shape without restricting movement, so the shirt sits closer to the body through the middle while staying relaxed at the shoulders and hem.

At 24 inches, the hem lands roughly at the hip bone for most heights. It's long enough to tuck into high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt, and short enough to wear untucked over straight-leg pants without adding bulk. The model wears a size S, so if you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed drape.

Yes. The shirt collar and full button placket read as workwear during the day. Swap tailored trousers for wide-leg satin pants or a slip skirt in the evening and the satin surface does the rest. The wine colour sits in a range that works under office lighting and candlelight. It's tagged for both Workwear and DinnerWear for exactly this reason.

Polyester satin has a smooth, cool surface with a light-reflective finish that catches light differently from matte fabrics. It drapes fluidly rather than holding a stiff shape, which is what lets the ruching fall naturally at the sides. It won't wrinkle as aggressively as silk-based satin, so it travels well.

Machine wash is fine. The 100% polyester construction means it holds up to a regular machine cycle better than natural-fibre satins. Cold water and a gentle cycle will keep the surface sheen intact longer.

The shirt comes in XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. If you're unsure between two sizes, the side ruching has enough give to accommodate, but sizing up will give you a looser fit through the shoulders and chest.
