kimono sleeve
Wide Japanese sleeve
A kimono sleeve is a wide, loose sleeve cut as one piece with the bodice of a garment, creating a deep armhole that extends from waist to wrist without a shoulder seam.
The style derives from traditional Japanese robes: The blouse had flowing kimono sleeves.
Kimono sleeves allow easy movement but add fabric bulk at the underarm.
