Why it's worth it
Ruffles and lace on black — the combination that makes leopard print look subtle.
The Edit
Black lace-trimmed ruffles run the full length of the front placket and down both sleeves, with a neck bow that ties loose rather than stiff — the construction reads Victorian via downtown. Bishop sleeves gather into a fitted cuff, and the floral buttons close the center front with enough ornament to replace any jewelry from the collarbone up. The silhouette is relaxed through the body without excess volume.
