Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend. Today's TPS report is written by City Girl — you can read her full experience with Carisssa here!
Thanks so much for inviting me to guest review on Corporette! I love my shirts from Bratique Helene — their creator, Carissa Brown, gifted me with a couple of their shirts, and they have quickly become wardrobe staples. The blue wrap shirt is just beautiful. The design is genius — there is just enough extra material to give room on the bust-line, but it is darted in such a way as to be very flattering and fitted. I really love the wrap design as it provides plenty of coverage to be work-appropriate (and my law firm is as conservative as they get), yet is great to wear on weekends or out to dinner. The blue color is even more gorgeous in person than on the picture, and the material is great quality. I was impressed at how well it holds up after drycleaning — the quality of the material and the tailoring is very apparent in that after a couple of dry cleanings, it has retained its structure and shape. Finally, I also wanted to mention that Carissa is a master at sizing — I am between sizes, and based on my measurements she recommended different sizes for different shirt styles and everything fit perfectly. Overall, it's been a great experience, and I look forward to shopping at Bratique Helene many more times.
The 3/4 Sleeve Wrap Shirt is $80, and available at Bratique Helene.

Fantastic. Now if only I could gently suggest this to some of my coworkers. . .
I like the slightly unusual (for shirts) cut on the breasts with a second seam higher than nipple level. A similar one to the Trinity coat from the Matrix (we all know how flattering that one was on her chest!)
I think this garment looks awful
Maybe it is just a supremely unflattering photo, but it looks like a maternity/nursing shirt to me.
Someone needs to suggest a lined bra to the model. To all women.
