flutter sleeve

Breezy, feminine sleeve

A flutter sleeve is a short, loose sleeve that falls in soft, rippling folds rather than fitting closely to the arm.

The fabric hangs freely from the shoulder seam, creating a gentle draping effect that moves with the wearer: The blouse featured delicate flutter sleeves.

Common on feminine tops and dresses, flutter sleeves offer light arm coverage without the structure of a fitted sleeve.
