I do not own any,but wonder if when eating do they get in the way?

When I lose the TV controller, it's always in some remote destination.

Re: Question about bell sleeves

Yes........they get in the way of everything.........catch on doorknobs, etc.

 

I don't think they are intended for "everyday" wear.

Re: Question about bell sleeves

Only if they are too long or wide  or too exaggerated.  I own two Linea bell sleeve tops.  I wear them often and they have never  been a problem. A302602.  If I should happen think that my sleeve might get into my food, I'm an adult, I know how to push up a sleeve.  Yes, I have seen some very exagerated sleeves in catalogs and stores but they are mostly evening wear or dress up wear and silly looking so not something I would buy.  I remember when my friend and I were looking for dresses for her to wear to her parent's 60th anniversary, we did see some with incredibly long flowy bell sleeves that would look good in pictures but would get in the way of living.

Re: Question about bell sleeves

I have a few tops and a dress with them. Yes, you need to be careful in some situations. I still like them. 

This is the dress.

Re: Question about bell sleeves

You just need to fold them back while you eat ,or take a rubber band along ,and use it on the end of the sleeve..How many hrs a day do people spend eating?

Re: Question about bell sleeves

I am not petite but have short arms. Bell sleeves and regular long sleeves don’t work for me.

 

I do have one 3/4 bell sleeved top, but I don’t like the way it looks.

Re: Question about bell sleeves

Yes they do!  I avoid wearing them to a restaurant as I end up dipping them in the food as I move my arms around.
