Sleeves are one of the most basic parts of a dress. The whole type of product depends on them, moreover, if we change one sleeves for others in the same dress, we will get completely different dresses. Recently, puffy sleeves are in trend.



The types of these sleeves are varied, however, designers have a great preference for puff sleeves. The puff sleeves are from the French bouffer - "inflate". There are several varieties of such sleeves. These are our cute "lanterns", gigot sleeves, or "sheep's leg" ("ham"), Juliet's sleeve, bishop's sleeve, crimped sleeves.

All of them have one base - a puff sleeve and a large volume with an assembly near the shoulder seam along the entire rim. For example, the sleeves are "flashlights". They can be of different lengths, but are generally short, above the elbow.

This is the same puff sleeve, but gradually narrowed towards the bottom, usually below the elbow. In the classic form, you can see such a sleeve at Alessandra Rich, David Koma. This sleeve has been subjected to bold experiments on more than one occasion. So in modern fashion, we can see various interpretations of this sleeve.

In addition to the named types, there are puffy sleeves, which are created on the basis of other varieties, no less interesting and original, for example, sleeves called "pagoda", "bishop", "tulip".

Sleeves - "pagoda"

The “pagoda” sleeve at the top remains puffy, and to some extent resembles a “sheep's leg” sleeve, however, it is raised and widened, sometimes forming a top elongated along the shoulder line. The sleeve style got its name from the name of an architectural Buddhist structure. But dresses with such sleeves in many collections turned out to be really original.
