TYPE OF SLEEVES

T-shirt/T-cap Sleeve

A specific style of short

sleeve that are cut and
seamed to fit on the
shoulder and taper to
nothing underneath the
arm. This style is usually
not as loose as a standard
short sleeve T-shirt, but
more like a small umbrella
— or cap — covering the
shoulder.
Puff Sleeve

Short sleeves that have

added fullness in the
sleeve cap and/or the
bicep. The bicep is either
elasticized or has a cuff.
Varying amounts of
fullness can be added for
more or less 'puff'.
Drop Shoulder Sleeve

Often used to describe

sleeves where the
armhole position falls on
the top of the arm area, in
contrast to a set in sleeve
where the armhole seam
would sit right on top of
the shoulder point.
Cuff Shirt Sleeve

A layer of fabric at the

lower edge of the sleeve
of a garment (shirt, coat,
jacket, etc.)
¾ Sleeve

Types of long or 3/4-

length sleeves that are
fitted at the armhole and
flared out at the bottom,
either with a seam or
seamlessly, are called as
bell sleeves.
Batwing Sleeve

Also known as a dolman

sleeve, is a long sleeve
with a baggy, wing-like
appearance. A batwing
starts wide at the
shoulders and has deep
armholes, with the sleeves
tapering toward the wrist.
Bishop Sleeve

A long sleeve that is gathered

at the bottom with a button
cuff, slit and facing. This
lesson will teach you the
principles of 'slashing and
spreading' to add fullness to
sleeves, as well as to other
areas of a garment.
Bell Sleeve

A long sleeve fitted from

the shoulder to elbow and
gently flared from elbow
onward.
Cape Sleeve

Full and flowing sleeves

that look like capes. The
fabric is gathered at the
shoulder and flares out
like a cape from there.
