A Lantern Sleeve is a sleeve style characterized by a rounded voluminous shape through the middle or entire sleeve that gathers at the cuff, creating a dramatic sculptural silhouette. Common elements include puffed rounded sleeves, narrowed cuffs, pleated or gathered structures, structured or lightweight fabrics such as cotton, taffeta, or chiffon, and frequent use in dresses, blouses, and vintage-inspired garments. The overall style emphasizes romance, elegance, and bold visual volume.
