3. Sleeves
 The four main types of sleeves and their variations are:
 a. Set-in sleeve- Are sewn to the bodice armholes. All set in type sleeves
must be eased, gathered, darted, or tucked and sewn into the bodice armscye
seam. They can be fitted or flared, cut to any length, and their hemlines
finished in a variety of ways. The different types of set-in sleeves are
 1. Classic- The classic sleeve is the sleeve found in most traditional tailored,
fitted styles. The classic sleeve is characterized by a high sleeve cap. The
higher sleeve cap is much more formal and attractive when movement is not
a priority.

4.  2. T-shirt - The t-shirt sleeve is a very casual style. The shoulder point on the
bodice armscye is typically dropped off the shoulder more than one inch (2.5
cm) and the armhole is a very shallow curve. Diagonal wrinkles will form at
the arms key as a result. Greater freedom of movement is possible with this
style though.
 3. Casual - The shorter cap sleeve is designed for a slightly dropped garment
shoulder-line. There is approximately 3/4 to 1 inch ease in the sleeve cap
between the notches. Being less fitted, this sleeve provides a greater amount
of movement than the classic or regulation set-in sleeve

5.  b. Raglan- The raglan sleeve is often selected for its comfortable fit and
relatively easy construction. It can be cut on the straight or bias grain and in
one or two pieces. Because the sleeve continues into the neckline area or
some other part of the garment bodice, shaping is needed over the shoulder
curve. Shaping may take the form of a dart, a seam, or gathers. It can be
either a one-piece or a two piece sleeve.

6.  c. Kimono - The kimono sleeve is actually an extension of the bodice or body
of the main garment and sometimes is referred to as a gem of simplicity. The
sleeve is frequently cut as one piece with the garment, thus producing a T-
shape bodice. When the garment is worn the arms are seldom at right angles,
therefore the sleeves create folds in the arm and shoulder area. A very
graceful draped effect can be achieved when the sleeve/armhole area is
large or more open in structure.

7.  d. Dolman- A full sleeve that is very wide at the armhole and narrow at the
wrist. The dolman sleeve is a sleeve set into a very low armscye; in fact, the
armscye may extend to the waistline, in which case there will be no
underarm seam in the blouse.
