armoire

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wardrobe' is the definition.
(type of wardrobe)

'sleeve doris cut in odd places on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'sleeve' could be 'arm' (synonyms) and 'arm' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'oi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
