ABOUT US
The Perfect Fit
We make shirts that raise expectations. Shirts made by women for women doing real-life things because we know (as women ourselves) that life is lived on the go. The Shirt is more than just a shirt. It’s a patented shirt that *actually* fits. It’s kind of a big deal. Otherwise, your bra always shows, which is generally not a good look unless it’s part of your look (hello, sheer). So, whatever you’re up to, think of us as The Shirt (and The Shirt Dress) for all your situations.
ROCHELLE BEHRENS
The Shirt was founded by Rochelle Behrens. After years of safety pinning her shirt closed while working in politics in Washington, DC, Rochelle designed and patented a flawless shirt. Since then, she’s been obsessed with making perfectly fitting pieces that make women feel confident in their clothes (well, specifically their shirts and, from time to time, their shirt dresses, too) powered by her patented No Gape® Technology.
Fast forward 10 years later, as a mom and founder, her life is full - very full - and having a wardrobe that she can count on to take her from morning drop-off to marketing meetings and out on weekends with her kids and friends makes things a bit more simple. Always excited about offering that same ease to you, thank you for being here, where The Shirt comes to life.
Made for Women by Women
Our cotton and silky basics are sourced from a family-run mill in Spain and produced in our female-led factory in Portugal by a local team of artisans. We have worked with this same factory since Rochelle started The Shirt.
No Gape® Technology
We exist to create well-fitting clothes with our patented No Gape® button technology - seamlessly designed into every shirt and eliminating blouse gape. Most shirts gape at the chest. Our patented tech solves the gape so your shirt actually fits.
