Step Two
Raglan Sleeve
Extended cuff feature
Open slash sleeve
Raglan sleeve
This design is more to do with the way
that the sleeve fits into the shoulder area
because it is not a conventional sleeve
casing. It is often used in sporting clothing
because it allows for more give across
the back. It also enhances the shoulder
area, especially if it appears as a two-tone
design (where the sleeve is a contrasting
colour from the body).
This shape will always bulk up the
shoulder area.
Avoid if you have large or square
shoulders.
Extended cuff feature
A dressy shirt, blouse or top can use this
feature and it is a great one to reduce
the appearance of a long slender arm,
especially if there is some gathering into
the cuff that creates width around the
forearm.
Open slash sleeve
This sleeve is slashed from the shoulder
to the wrist and held by the wristband
but there are other designs too like a
slash just at the top of the arm or several
slashes that are caught at various points
along the way.
This is a perfect sleeve for concealing the
shape of the arm, leaving a slither of skin
on show and a long vertical line.
