BIG BOLD SLEEVES

I am obsessed with dramatic sleeves. Batwing….Bell….Poofy. It really doesn’t matter, as long as they’re big and bold. I have actually been known to resort to extraordinary measures to get the puffiest sleeve possible by stuffing them with tissue paper to ensure that they don’t “deflate” during the day.  I cannot tell you how amusing it is to watch the looks of curious confusion come across people’s faces as I walk by making a very slight crinkling sound.

Obviously, extreme measures are not for everyone, which is why the “batwing sleeve” is a great style choice for those seeking to add a bit of drama to their look. I also love the fact that it’s a very forgiving cut for women who require a slightly more spacious sleeve. Did I mention that the bold sleeve is great for dancing? Well it is, so go find a great one and give it a twirl around the dance floor. Remember, fashion is meant to be fun.

  5. Oh yes I am with you, I live big sleeves, batwing sleeves, kimono sleeves. So I like your top. My kind of top, especially with these colours and that neckline. It suits you well (and it would suit me haha). When I came to the last picture and I saw the heel of your shoes, I went Aahhhh. Spectacular. You are so good with footwear.
