THE PLEATED SHIRT WITH SCULPTURAL SLEEVES

A shirt cut to pleat — structured through the yoke, pleated through the front and back, and sculpted through the sleeve.

Oversized button-up shirt with a classic collar. The front and back have deep box pleats / knife pleats that start from the yoke seam and release below — the pleats are stitched at the yoke and open. The sleeves are oversized with an elbow tuck / pleat that creates the sculptural balloon shape — the sleeve is wide at top, pleated at elbow, fitted at cuff. Long shirt length — can be worn as shirt dress.

All items in this collection are exclusive designs by Atelier Aida.
