batwing sleeve
Loose, angular sleeve
A batwing sleeve is cut as one piece with the bodice of a garment, creating a deep, wide armhole that extends from the waist to a fitted wrist.
The silhouette resembles a bat's wing when arms are extended.
The style appears in sweaters, dresses, and tops, offering dramatic drape and ease of movement: She loved the relaxed fit of her batwing sleeve sweater.
