Sleeve Types 

A. Batwing sleeve - a long sleeve with a very deep armhole, tapering towards the wrist. Also known as a "magyar" sleeve.

B. Bell sleeve -  a long sleeve that is fitted from the shoulder to wrist and gently flared from wrist onward. The bell sleeve is very similar to the poet sleeve, but has a "cleaner look," often without ruffles.

C. Bag sleeve - A bag sleeve is a garment sleeve which is long, and very full, gathered onto the cuff at the wrist and has the effect of hanging down along the lower part of the arm. Bag sleeves were popular during the 16th and 16th centuries.

D. Cap sleeve - a very short sleeve not extending below armpit level

E. Dolman sleeve - a long sleeve that is very wide at the top and narrow at the wrist

F. Gigot sleeve or leg of mutton sleeve - a sleeve that is extremely wide over the upper arm and narrow from the elbow to the wrist

G. Hanging sleeve - a sleeve that opens down the side or front, or at the elbow, to allow the arm to pass through (14th, 15th, and 16th centuries) 

H. Juliette (Juliet) sleeve - a long, tight sleeve with a puff at the top, inspired by fashions of the Italian Renaissance and named after Shakespeare's tragic herioine. 

I. Pagoda sleeve - a wide, bell-shaped sleeve popular in the 1860s, worn over an engageante or false undersleeve. 

J. Paned sleeve a sleeve made in panes or panels, allowing a lining or shirt-sleeve to show through (16th and 17th centuries). 

K. Poet sleeve - a long sleeve fitted from shoulder to elbow, and then flared (somewhat dramatically) from elbow to wrist (or sometimes mid-hand). Often features ruffles on the cuffs.

L. Puffed or puff sleeve - a short, full sleeve gathered at the top and bottom, now most often seen on wedding and children's clothing, can be made with or without a cuff. 

M. Raglan Sleeve - a sleeve that extends to the neckline

N. Cowl sleeve - The Cowl sleeve has a wide opening at the top that drapes down the arm. It produces a silhouette, in sleeves, which gives bulk just above the level of the bust.

O. Two-piece sleeve -  a sleeve cut in two pieces, inner and outer, to allow the sleeve to take a slight "L" shape to accommodate the natural bend at the elbow without wrinkling; used in tailored garments

R. Mamaluke Sleeve - A mamaluke sleeve is a long full sleeve partitioned into five sections, each section being drawn and seamed to fit around the arm.

S. Bishop sleeve - a long sleeve, fuller at the bottom than the top, and gathered into a cuff (1940s)

T. Dalmatian Sleeve - A Dalmatian sleeve or angel sleeve is a garment sleeve that flares towards the wrist, ending in a long point hanging down from the wrist.
