Help finding a good dress shirt

Pretty ridiculous, but I am having trouble finding the perfect dress shirt. I want a non-iron, not overly expensive shirt (preferably no front pocket, but its not a priority) I checked out BB but they suggested I go with custom shirts because of my build (32 waist, about 44-46 chest, 34 sleeve). I was told if I take in the sides it ruins the shirt because of the seam or non-iron, anyone have experience with this? Any suggestions?

my experience is with off the rack and fully custom

best off the rack I've found is charles tyrwhitt. they do a sale a couple times a year where you can pay $30 per shirt. great quality for the money.

custom, you'll pay 1-200 per shirt. find a good local tailor or go to hong kong/thailand and get measured.

done the brooks brothers thing, which is priced somewhere in between. utter waste of money for a poor fit. have even had a BB shirt taken in, not worth it. buy CT or go custom
