Re: Express Embroidered Puff Sleeve Top

I like the embroidery on the body but those sleeves have got to go.  Seems like designers try to re-introduce those puffed sleeves on a cycle every few years and they never go over well.

It would be very cute with a pair of white shorts and a suntan or white slacks out for the evening in a teen or a 20ish-30ish young lady.

Re: Express Embroidered Puff Sleeve Top

I love puffy shirts though they make look even more broad shouldered! I'd like it more with a more demure embroidery though but it is pretty.

Don't like the puff sleeves.  Don't like the top.

Don't like it.  Too puffy, busy and structured!

I think it would be cute without the sleeves.

Re: Express Embroidered Puff Sleeve Top

I really like that top a LOT.  I think I'll try to order it.

 

I fell in love with puffed sleeves back in 1973 or so, and the love affair still goes strong, I don't care what my age is.

 

I can understand why some people would think that style doesn't suit them.  But, I'm smallish in build with narrow shoulders, and in general a "girlish" look even though it's now turning into "old-lady girlish", so I think I can get away with them as long as most of my other clothing items (when I wear the puffed sleeves) are plain.

 

There was a time in my mid years that I felt the puffed sleeve, ruffled look was not suitable for me anymore, but then I saw Angela Lansbury (much older than me) appearing at an awards show in a gown that either had puffed sleeves or ruffles, something very youthful.  You would have thought she was too old for that gown, but to me, anyway, she looked so elegant.  

 

I came to the conclusion, it's how you put your items together, and your particular look that makes the difference.

Re: Express Embroidered Puff Sleeve Top

Not all puffed sleeves, or I should say puff shoulders, are created equally.

 

I just bought this subtle puff shoulder blouse. But mine is blush and not navy.

It also comes in a black and white gingham. I love the femininity of it
