Why it's worth it
Irises this large, on fabric this sheer — the print and the transparency are pulling in opposite directions.
The Edit
Black sheer polyester chiffon gathered into a smocked mock neck, then released into a voluminous bishop sleeve finished with a close-set cuff — the construction swings between Victorian restraint and full exposure. Large-scale iris blooms are placed across the chest and sleeves in a botanical-illustration style, the violet petals dense enough to read through the transparency without lining the body. The hem tucks in, worn best bloused over high-waisted tailoring so the sheer layers catch light from above.
