Im trying to find a patterns of a dress with these sleeves and I have no clue what they are called!

What is the name of those sleeves that extend horizontally out from the dress to your arm?
SLEEVES


Cap The shortest of sleeves, it traditionally covers the shoulder only.


Fitted Very close to the arm, no excess material.


Juliet Fitted A tightly fitted sleeve with a small pouf at the shoulder.


Leg of Mutton Very full at the shoulder, the sleeve remains full until it narrows to become very fitted at the forearm.


Melon An extravagantly rounded sleeve that extends from shoulder to elbow.


Off-the-Shoulder Exactly what it sounds like- the sleeves have a sort of "fallen" look, like they fell off your shoulders


Poet A fitted long sleeve with an outward flare just above the wrists.


Spaghetti Straps Simple straps between 1/8" and 1" wide


Three-Quarter A sleeve that ends between the elbow and middle forearm- can be fitted or loose


Tulip A cap sleeve made of overlapping fabric that curves into a petal like shape over the top of the arm.
Reply:I think I can picture them in my head...Bat wing? Dolman? I think you mean dolman sleeves, sometimes called batwings.
