bell sleeves
Trumpet-shaped arm openings
Bell sleeves are sleeves that fit closely at the shoulder and gradually widen toward the wrist, flaring out like the shape of a bell.
Common in bohemian and vintage-inspired fashion, they range from subtle flares to dramatic sweeps of fabric: Her bell sleeves kept dipping into her soup.
