Spring Trend: Dolman Sleeves

Posted by Lauren | Wednesday March 16, 2011

This spring, the dolman sleeve has made a return. Showing up in both casual looks and dressier luxe fabrics, the shape is hugely flattering as it hides imperfections and often hits at a more flattering point of the arm.

I usually choose something that cuts just above the elbow or I go for a 3/4 length sleeve.
