Need help!!! Please recommend blouse/button up shirt! Can't find one that fits right!

I am on the hunt for a great fitted button-up shirt, blouse. I am pretty tall (5'10") and wear a size 4, all the shirts I have tried are too short and cut wrong at teh bust/waist line. The only option is to buy a much larger size and have it tailored but they have to actually rebuilt the shity and it is annoying and costly. I hate to do this.

Can you please recommend where you found your bouse/shirts. Where the fitted/tailored, where they long enough? Thanks!!!!!!

I don't know if my recommendation means anything because I'm 5'2 (on a good day) but have you tried Express?

Maybe Banana Republic too, good quality and I believe they have tall sizes.

Thanks everyone, totally appreciate all the suggestions, I guess I have a busy weekend shopping,lol. Hopefully will find a good one and stock up.

Unforunately I love brook brothers shirts but too short (not sleeves but torso)!

Tom James does custom shirts to your body, they take your measurements, you pick the fabric, collar etc and they make one for you. They are a little pricey but totally worth it.

JcPenneys St Johns Bay has a tall line. I've sworn by their petite stuff. Great fit, great quality and can't beat their pricing!

I'm short, but jcrew shirts are always ridiculously long on me, might work for you.

Mrs Obama wears them, I think.
