Why it's worth it
Balloon sleeves up top, corset waist below — the shirt arguing with itself in the best way.
The Edit
Balloon sleeves cut from 96% cotton poplin land at wide, stiffened cuffs — the volume is structural, not decorative, held in check by a seamed waist so fitted it functions like a corset without boning. A pointed classic collar anchors the neckline, and the detachable tie — same pale blue fabric — sits between shirt-dress and suiting with deliberate ambiguity. Unlined, dry-clean construction keeps the shell crisp rather than collapsing under its own drama.
Insider Tip
The waist runs extremely small by design — the brand explicitly flags it; size up if you're between sizes.
