I was darting through Nordstrom last week, and saw a cute Rails striped button down, with tiny flocked red hearts on it. They only had one left -- not my size. When I got home I googled "striped shirt hearts", and I noticed that Talbots carried an extremely similar looking shirt, but different fabric (Rails has a more drapey blend, while Talbot is 100% cotton, likely to be a bit stiffer).

Does anyone have experience with Talbots, specifically button-downs? Any thoughts re. sizing? The Rails shirt was located with the Madewell stuff at my Nordstrom, and I wondered if the Talbots version was more "mature"? TIA!
