Iris by DanDoh (Silk+ 5-sk kit)
This lightweight top has two options for sleeves. The flutter sleeves are left unseamed at the edges so they flutter and add unexpected interest. It’s a playful and unique style. The kimono sleeves have a relaxed yet elegant look because it has a larger portion of see-through fabric.
There is no shaping required.
Instructions include the following optional adjustments:
- Body length adjustments
- Sleeve depth/length adjustments
- Sleeve style options (flutter or kimono sleeves)
