LOL, That's hilarious!😂😂😂

I'm not a big fan of balloon sleeves either. In fact, I don't really even like elastic cuffs.

I don't buy or wear QVC clothing so I won't buy, but some women have large upper arms that can not fit into regular sleeves.

I am one of this women. I have to go up two sizes to get my upper arms in some garments which makes it huge everywhere else.

You don't have to like or wear them, but they are important to those who need this type of sleeve.

I have broad shoulders and have found that dropped sleeve dresses/blouses work best for me. Maybe they will work for you.

White. Blouse in woven cotton fabric with eyelet embroidery. Ruffle-trimmed V-neck and ruffle ...

@lgfan Yes, they are helpful. I always look for dolman sleeves and dropped shoulder sleeves.

Sometimes they work, and sometimes not. I have always had larger upper arms and as I got older, they got bigger.

I inherited them from my maternal grandmother.

I love that blouse you posted. It is something I would wear.

Prefer sleeves with cuffs or hems, rather than elastic at the end. Never have cared for balloon sleeves which are difficult under a jacket or sweater and look rediculously fadish to me.

Money screams; wealth whispers.

Agree. They remind me of Seinfeld's pirate shirt.

@Carmie , I get that. My upper arms are big and there are certain lines, not that I've experienced on QVC yet, that I just can't wear. I know there are some balloon type sleeves that aren't too "ballooney". I think the main thing I dislike is the elastic cuffs.
