Re: Balloon Sleeve Wide Cuff Top

Why would @lolakimono  post a different name than the retailer calls the item?  How would you search for the item on the site? Yes, back in the day it was called bishops sleeve but perhaps this is the modern description.  I'm sorry but this is nonsense.

@lolakimono 

I prefer the neckline on this one. What do you think?

@lolakimono 

And, for the record, they're calling this a balloon sleeve too! LOL

This one has three tiny back buttons! But I could probably put it over my head without Unbuttoning them with that stretchy neckline

Re: Balloon Sleeve Wide Cuff Top

 I like the soft colors  but the  small buttons not so much . Would have to try it on to see how I feel abt  all that ballooning at the arms

I had a blouse just like this back in the 70s.  It was a pain in the butt.  Getting it on and off was a chore in itself.  Buttoning and unbuttoning all those tiny buttons took forever and all that fabric became a filthy mess after each and every wearing.  Especially at the wrists.  Very impracticable blouse although it looks nice.

I like all of the styles/colors in all of the photos.

 

Andrea: LOVE your choice.  The collar, sleeves, etc.

 

All 'perfect' (for me).

Re: Balloon Sleeve Wide Cuff Top

Are the key holes and tiny buttons cheaper to do than putting in a zipper? Just curious because I can forgo the keyhole to get rid of those silly impossible buttons!
