FIGURES.
Set-in sleeve
 A set-in sleeve is a sleeve
that is attached to the
garment’s armhole and
sewn all the way around.
Most sleeves, if they are
not continuous with the
bodice’s fabric are set-in
sleeves.
Bell sleeves.
 Also called peasant
sleeves, this long sleeve is
fitted around the shoulder
and upper arm and flares
out to the wrist, like a bell.
Cap sleeves
A cap sleeve is an extremely short
sleeve that doesn’t extend very far
from the shoulder and doesn’t go
below the armpit. It can have a
gathered, elastic seam or a loose
seam.
Kimono sleeves
 A kimono sleeve is a sleeve that is in
one piece with the garment’s bodice
and is not sewn on separately. The
sleeve is generally wide with a uniform
circumference throughout. These are
generally used for Chinese-style robes,
not Japanese kimonos, despite their
name. For a Japanese kimono, the
sleeves are usually sewn separately.
Raglan sleeves
 A raglan sleeve extends
from a garment's
neckline, rather than from
the shoulder, and this
allows better movement.
This type of sleeve is
used for baseball t-shirts.
Bishop sleeves
  A bishop sleeve flares
out from the shoulder,
giving volume to the
sleeve all the way to the
cuff, where the fabric is
tightly gathered.
Butterfly sleeves
 Like a bell sleeve, a
butterfly sleeve flares
out from the
shoulder, but it
usually does not fully
cover the arm.
Flutter sleeves
 A flutter sleeve is very
similar to a butterfly
sleeve except it is
generally a little shorter
and wider, falling loosely
Dolman sleeves
 This is a type of sleeve that
has a very deep armhole,
and the sleeve gets
progressively narrower to the
wrist. This type of sleeve is
also called a batwing sleeve,
due to its likeness to wings.
Puffed sleeve

 A puffed sleeve is
gathered at the shoulder
and at the seam but is full
and “puffy” in the
middle.
Cape sleeves
Cape sleeves are full and
flowing sleeves that look like
capes. The fabric is gathered
at the shoulder and flares out
like a cape from there.
Lantern sleeves
 A lantern sleeve is a long sleeve that
balloons out between the wrist and
the elbow and then gathers again
around the wrist.
Balloon sleeves
Balloon sleeves are long, puffed
sleeves that are gathered at the
shoulder and then puffed out and
gather back at the wrist. Sometimes,
the sleeve puffs out lower than the
shoulder, but it is still a full puff rather
than a tapered flare.
Leg-of-mutton sleeves

This sleeve is gathered and puffed


by the shoulder and upper arm
and then fitted on the forearm.
This style of sleeve somewhat
resembles a sheep’s leg, hence
the name.
