Fan Sleeves

Greeneyedlady21 — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 18:54:45 GMT

Actress Sienna Miller wore this Gucci gown with fan sleeves to the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Obviously the whole top of the dress looks like a fan, but they call it fan sleeves.

What do you think of the look?

I don't know. I don't dislike it, yet I'm not crazy about it either. It's sort of a matronly style on such a young beautiful woman, yet I like the fact that it covers the body in an interesting way.

I think I would like this better if it had a bateau neck and no sleeves so just a peak of her shoulder and arms were shown. jmo

She looks like her feet really, really hurt.

I am scratching my head on this one. I looked at it objectively, and am still drawing an, "oh no". The color, the fit and the length are too different for my taste.

No and the neckline is too high for me, I would feel like I was choking.

Well I’m obviously not a fashion maven. However if I were to put my size XL or 1X body into that, you’d want o look away!

Most people are not a size 0, so I don’t know how many they’ll sell.

But the designer/ wearer got what they wanted because....well..we are discussing it/them.

Can't imagine liking that dress on anyone.

Change the neckline, ditch the sleeves & the 3 gold waist bands, move the silver embellishment to the waist, change the color & you've got a pretty pleated dress.

I don't particularly care for it. Probably cost a fortune but not all that difficult to make.

Two long pieces of machine pleated fabric, looks like waist may be elastic. Two shoulder seams and some embroidery/embellishment.

It's comes across as matronly on her. It's nice dress of a woman of a certain age who wants some arm coverage.

I love the bottom half but hate the top half!

OK, that style is just a big NO period.

And, so are those shoes!

High heels are fine...but these just look uncomfortable as h___!

IMO, the color isn't attractive, and the dress looks like it is "wearing HER"!

Overall, anything pleated is very difficult to pull off correctly. This is just the latest example of a failed pleated attempt. It makes her look like an origami fan...which is not a good look unless you are going to a Haloween costume party.

I do not care for the look. I like her shoes. The color of dress is blah too especially with her skin color.

I look at the top of that dress and hear OOMPAH
