How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

Reviews

Favorite button up

"I own 4 of the Waverly shirts in the jersey fabric and they are, by far, my favorite button up shirts. The fabric is perfect, even in the heat of summer. They have a wonderful drape that skims the body and are so flattering. The placket and hem does roll a bit but that doesn't bother me because the jersey makes them less "stuffy" than a normal button up. I own a lot of F&E and wear the Waverly more than anything else. So glad I grabbed the latest color before it sold out. Please make more colors for fall and winter!"

A new favorite

"I love everything about this shirt. The fit is between the barry and the eileen (I prefer the barry to the eileen if that matters). I take a small in the barry, and xs or xxs in the eileen and I have both a small and an xs in the waverley (they both are great but I prefer the xs). The jersey is genius. . . so comfy and the drape is nice and the wash and dry with no iron is the best. I'll buy more colors!"

Need more Waverly in Vintage Jersey!!!

"My closet is full of Frank and Eileen because I love the way that Eileen fits. However, this Waverly in the vintage jersey is my new favorite. Please bring out a dusty pink and a taupe color. I find the style to be a little more fitted than the Eileen that I normally get and I find I like it. I did go up to an extra large instead of a large in this after reading several reviews and it was the right decision, I like it a little oversized."

— Paula N. (5/5)

Great idea!

"I absolutely love the idea of a button-down feeling like a T-shirt. Bring it on, in more styles, more colors! Nonetheless, the white is a must-have!"

— Janice N. (5/5)

My new favorite

"Waverly is my new favorite shirt! I love the drape of the jersey material, I love that it shows I actually have a waistline and doesn’t make me look boxy. I’d love to see more colors offered in the jersey material, it’s such a great fabric and when it’s combined with a great button up style it’s a real winner! I wish I could magically turn my closet full of Eileen’s into waverly’s. Waverly, my new favorite shirt!!"

— Carrie M. (5/5)

If there’s a better shirt, I haven’t found it

"I’m between an l and an m and went with the l. It’s the perfect shirt. Looks dressy, extremely flattering, feels like pajamas. I ordered the m for the days I want something less flowy and more fitted and finally broke down and ordered the navy. I think this top will be my summer uniform so that I feel pulled together for work or a walk on the beach."

— Kelly M. (5/5)

Please make more colors in the jersey!

"The heritage jersey in the button ups is a favorite fabric. It is so soft and comfortable, doesn't even need ironing. The Waverly is slightly more fitted and longer than Eileen, I wear a S in Eileen and sized up to a M in Waverly. It is a very flattering silhouette and will get tons of use. Please offer the heritage jersey in the button ups more often!"

WAVERLY, L O V E

"I wear the white and British blue Waverly and look forward to it each time. I love how they fit-snug, but not to snug, and perfect feel is AMAZING. I missed the BIRDY green and hope to see new colors very soon. Army Green would be FABULOUS! If you’re on the fence about Waverly, don’t wait to find your new TREASURE, Love. 5-star"

Love this!

"This shirt is super flattering on. I’ve loved every Frank and Eileen item I’ve purchased but this might be my favorite. It’s a slightly more tailored fit than some of the other button downs. I loved the white so much I went back and ordered it in navy."

— Molly O. (5/5)

Wonderful shirt

"This shirt is so comfortable I could wear it everyday. Love it! I will buy other colors!"
