Bell sleeve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bell sleeve can be either long or short and is usually set smoothly into the armhole (no pleating or shirring) and flares toward the bottom, where it is gathered into a band, or cuff, by shirring or by smocking. The effect is reminiscent of a bell in its shape. If the sleeve is relatively full in circumference and is gathered or pleated into both the armhole and at the bottom, it is called a Bishop's Sleeve.
