cape sleeve
Flowing shoulder covering
A cape sleeve is a sleeve style that extends from the shoulder like a small cape, draping over the upper arm without a traditional armhole.
The fabric hangs freely rather than encircling the arm, creating a flowing, wing-like silhouette: The blouse featured elegant cape sleeves that fluttered when she moved.
Common in formal and bohemian fashion.
