flutter sleeves

Loose, draped sleeves

Flutter sleeves are short, loose sleeves with a wide, flowing edge that ripples when the wearer moves.

They're typically cut from a single piece of fabric without a cuff, creating a soft, feminine drape: The blouse had delicate flutter sleeves that moved with every gesture.

Common on blouses, dresses, and tops for warm weather.
