bell sleeve
Arm opening widens
A bell sleeve is a sleeve that fits close to the arm at the shoulder and upper arm, then flares dramatically toward the wrist, resembling the shape of a bell.
Common in bohemian and vintage-inspired fashion: Her blouse had flowing bell sleeves that nearly reached her fingertips.
The style appears in everything from casual tops to formal gowns.
