a sleeve with a large armhole and tight cuff

A sleeve tapering from a wide opening at the armhole to a narrow one at the wrist.

Cut as an extension of the bodice, the dolman sleeve is designed without a socket for the shoulder, creating a deep, wide armhole that reaches from the waist to a narrowed wrist. Also called a batwing sleeve.
