5 balloon sleeve comparisons: short curves and long fine surfaces

Five balloon sleeve comparisons show fullness in different places. The shorter quieter reference gathers a large rounded surface at the upper arm. Longer examples continue finer areas towards closer wrist finishes. The original featured picture has floral cuffs beside a densely patterned bodice. Other views add a bouquet, hands at the waist or a longer floor view. These visible differences establish neither common fibres nor connections or wearing qualities.

Frequently asked questions

How do the bouquet and featured pictures differ at their upper edges?
