Sleeves

Bishop sleeve

A bishop sleeve is a long sleeve that's full and loose along the arm and gathered into a fitted cuff at the wrist. The volume billows between shoulder and cuff, creating a soft, romantic drape popular on blouses and dresses.

The fullness gathers into the cuff, so the sleeve gradually widens from a smooth shoulder to a generous volume that's caught neatly at the wrist. It reads as elegant and feminine without the structured shoulder of a puff sleeve.

Crank up the volume and you get a balloon sleeve; concentrate it at the shoulder instead of the wrist and it's a puff.
