Well short sleeved blouses that button up at the back is probably more accurate. Classic section hopeless. Blouses section hopeless. Bon Marche is an idea though, there is one near here.

Bon Marché? Although their t shirts do tend to be rather...embellished.

I gave up looking for plain white blouses with short sleeves for my MiL. She is not a person who would wear something that didn't button down the front. In the end I abandoned M&S and found a little shop, run by an Indian, which sells old ladies clothes. Sadly, now that half of Bracknell has been demolished for "regeneration" the shop has now closed so it's back to the drawing board.

I wouldn't say your MIL is a conservative dresser if she wears t shirts at 80.Have you looked on the classic part of the site?Those are clothes for the older amongst us, though I am not sure what you mean exactly about the loose synthetic tees, sorry.

My MIL, in her 80s, is a conservative dresser. She wears those loose t shirts, usually synthetic. Round neck. Plain fabric usually pastels. You know the sort of thing. She could do with a new one or two for her birthday.
They don't seem to have any of them on M and S web site. Have they turned their noses up at the over 80s? Or am I just looking in the wrong part of the website?
