Please no more puffed sleeves

[Nitgel]

Seriously who wears these. Yet another collection ruined by the dreaded puff sleeve. Stop

I like a puff sleeve personally. I’m quite narrow at the shoulders but have wider hips and have no boobs so the bigger sleeve sort of balances me out a bit.
Or maybe it’s nothing to do with proportions and I just like the shape!!!
But I agree, I don’t want tight elastic digging in thanks, shorter lining on the inside please rather than cutting corners (and blood circulation).

Yes. puffy sleeves but I raise you angel sleeves. How to ruin an otherwise decent top.

Agree. I am broad shouldered. I do not need ridiculous puffy sleeves.

That sleeve is going to be too hard to iron.

I love them - they hide my fat arms and are therefore far more flattering on me than sleeveless (or tight sleeves).

I wear barrel legs - they look great on me. Puff sleeves are NOT my friend though - they make me look like titty mc tit face.

I like them (although not your example!) as I’m narrow shouldered

I don’t really like a puff sleeve that puffs at the shoulder , they don’t flatter me a bit , but I’ve seen women of all shapes look fabulous in them. I do though , adore those sleeves that flare gently from the shoulder and puff massively at the wrist before tapering to a cuff, very biba style.

Oh a-men op. 🙌🏻

Ugh I’m sick of them. I have a matronly bust so most blouses and dresses are just a no no. With puff sleeves I just look like Mrs wardrobe from Beauty and the Beast.

Me too, I would wear these as my arms are bigger so need the extra space.

I like puffy sleeves. Angel/butterfly /flutter sleeves are awful.

I love puff sleeves. They really balance out my body shape.

Loathe puff sleeves - make me look top heavy. Also hate tiers/frills on skirts/dresses, breast pockets on dresses (just why??) and high collars (Wyse does a lot of dresses/tops with these - they are hugely unflattering on me). Very difficult to find anything unadorned with at least one of the above. If not, it will be a horrible cutesy ditsy floral print. I really struggle to find simple dresses.

I rather like that there's a crazy variety of sleeves. Most I would never wear personally, but I'm happy that they're out there.

Like a PP my problem with puffy sleeves is that they don't play nicely with jumpers or cardigans and it's rare that it's warm enough for me to be confident I won't need an extra layer at some point.

Much to be said for the milkmaid look though!

I think they are feminine and pretty. However they accentuate my wide shoulders and on me look bloody awful.

I’m slim with a broad back and shoulders, I look absolutely dreadful in puff sleeves. I always quite liked them but recently realised they are seriously unflattering on me.

If you’re petite with slopey shoulders then they can look very pretty imo.

They remind me of the sleeves that used to be on some wedding and bridesmaids dresses.

While we're on the subject of sleaves I hate jumper's and cardigans with no cuffs just baggy and hanging down. I have a jumper and a cardigan with sleeves like these. I absolutely love them apart from the sleeves. Just to add they didn't look that huge on the hanger's.

I have two weddings to go to this year but everything is un-buyable it’s so ugly and mostly frumpy (hello
puffed sleeves!) or cross-dressing raver circa 1990s.

Oh. AND the awful materials. With mostly really fake material (that uses a lot of chemicals or plastic) and costs a lot anyway. Might start seeing clothes. I embroider anyway. Or travel somewhere where this is not normal and real fabrics are and just get all my things made there. Good excuse to go to India or Sri Lanka.

I had a wedding to go to a few years ago - I’m quite tall and reasonably slim but have big tits. I looked like a Victorian milkmaid in every single thing I tried on. Even did the whole ‘personal shopper’ experience- they agreed.

awful. Just awful. You go from coast / Karen Millen to stuff my 80 year old mum would wear. Nothing in between.

I like the small ones, because I'm a rectangle and it gives me some respite from looking like a pillar.

I would like to nominate piecrust shirts for the bin though, they make anyone look like a cupcake.

I love a puff sleeve and think they can work on lots of body shapes :/ I’m a very flat chested and narrow thin figure and find they add a bit of drama to my very plain shape!

Once you are old enough to have wobbly bits on your arms they're a godsend

Don't know if you sew, but because there's extra material altering the dresses quite possible. I've done it to a few over the years mainly because I'm broad shouldered and big busted. If I didn't I'd looking like a running back (Anerican football).
