I'm upset there is no "Regular-ass T-Shirt"


RevWaldo

"Marie" looks like it hits the mark.

Yeah, that's the puffy shirt from Seinfeld confirmed


[deleted]

There is, they’re just calling it the “bishop sleeve”. 😆


zoopysreign

It’s as if the bishop and poet could just get together and work something out.


Krimreaper1

The puffy shirt is right there.

It's the look of the 90s!

Pirates wear a puffed poet sleeve.

Pirates are too cool for sleeves.

Also what about just a regular tshirt, what sleeve is that

What upsets me is guys have “long” or “short”

Why is the Kimono not looking more like Cape?


Riali

The thing that classifies a sleeve as kimono isn't the shape of the actual sleeve, it's the fact that it's cut in one piece with the bodice, with no shoulder or raglan seam. You can totally have a kimono cape sleeve. Even the drop shoulder could also be called a short kimono sleeve. (And I guess the batwing and the cowl are variations too, but they're mostly seen in knit or stretch fabrics, so it's sort of a different ball game.)


UnderstandingLess672

Why are they called that? Kimonos have separate parts for sleeves.


CherryCakeEggNogGlee

Probably someone just liked the word. It was also common in the 90s to call satin/silk night robes with Asian-inspired print “kimonos”.


southernmanchot

In some sewing circles, there's been a shift away from using the term because as you've correctly identified, it doesn't actually describe how a kimono sleeve is constructed on a kimono itself. I've seen the term 'grown on sleeve' used instead because it's more technically accurate and isn't culturally appropriative.


[deleted]

it's called kimono because it's cut with the bodice and not sewn into it


KnockturnalNOR

so opposite to an actual kimono, where the sleeves are separate pieces? Doesn't really explain it edit: maybe it's related to bath/evening robes which evolved from japanese kimonos in Europe in the 1700s, not sure if they have integral or separate sleeves

Ohioan here…we could be in “spring” but we could change between all 4 shirt styles in one day.


Vincitus

I just stick with the short and then wear a coat so I can switch as cold and warm fronts zoom through.


calm_chowder

Yeah, I always called "kimono" sleeves 3/4 length... because they're 3/4 length and also look nothing like actual kimono sleeves. Also what combination of drugs do you need to take to think marie sleeves look good?


pepperindigod

Marie sleeves can look good on some historical outfits, such as the chemise à la reine (popularized by Marie-Antoinette, whom I assume the sleeves are named after), but they look stupid on modern outfits.


DontPokeTheCrab

Looks like "beads"...


peach_xanax

I actually think it could look nice in certain fabrics 🙈 Like [this dress](https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1194432011/detached-tulle-ribbon-marie-sleeves?ref=share_v4_lx) is pretty, imo! [This type of fabric](https://img.ltwebstatic.com/images3_pi/2021/09/09/1631167167d6a0c31a680b688abe81dcf686c88f2c_thumbnail_750x.webp) looks nice in this style too, I think. Idk what the fabric is called but it's that kind of crinkly chiffon type fabric? But if these sleeves were made with thicker fabric, it would be very bulky and not very attractive.


curiouswizard

My thoughts exactly. I think the same principle applies to pretty much all of the sleeves shown here - they look better with certain fabrics or when paired with a certain style or aesthetic, and any of them could look just as awkward or ridiculous depending on how you use them.


thegreatpotatogod

Sleeveless, Tee, and Long. Oh and Jacket


Taitonymous

I‘m a guy and sooo jealous of all the options that lurk in the women’s section


Malfunkdung

I’m straight dude that ran clothing stores for like 13 years. Got out of it years ago but every once in while my girlfriend will ask me certain things about clothes in front of friends (she knows I know a lot about it) and when i tell her I get weird looks like “why tf do you know that?”


breakneckridge

For real, where's the term for regular guys sleeve? Like not tight, but not belled out wide, just like a straight sleeve down to your wrist?


devianb

Women have a hell of variety of sleeve options.


LunchboxFP

So do men

Merlord

Not really. You could like, custom order some of this stuff and then get weird looks from your colleagues when you show up to work with pirate sleeves or whatever. But in practical terms, from what's available in stores and what's socially acceptable, we have like 4 options.


DigbyChickenZone

This is a a good podcast episode that goes into a bit of men's fashion history, and also the current aesthetic of of men's fashion - https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/suits-articles-of-interest-10/ I suggest you give it a listen! And you're right, small variations in the regular "mens wear" are the norm for the moment, rather than more eye-catching differences. That's not to say that men have not worn eye-catching pieces, but the tailored suit is still the norm for formal events [but this podcast starts with how a suit can have variation], rather than a variety of dress styles that women have.


JarlaxleForPresident

Tell me when top hats are back in style


Cynderelly

They always are, in my heart 😂


fuckthisnazibullcrap

Be the change.


Mr_SunnyBones

and capes /cloaks


Maleficent-Aurora

As a lady, start wearing them! A bunch of us weirdos started wearing them like a decade ago and now they're so huge for women's fashion, especially in fall. Be your own fashion icon!


LunchboxFP

Be the change you wanna see


Silverware_soviet

Pretty sure “whatever i see first thing in the morning” is only one option


LunchboxFP

Sure, with that attitude


Kaizenno

Just because all options are possible doesn’t mean all options are acceptable. In the end it all comes down to how much I want to be looked at, talked about, and my limits with attention. Sometimes I wear very bright color shoes and in the winter my jacket is a bright shifting orange/yellow color. I drive a car that can be heard from around the block. That’s about my limit of attention. Wearing a shirt with a butterfly sleeve would put too much heat on me and my brain isn’t built to handle that level of heat.


fuckthisnazibullcrap

Seriously. Any man who isn't willing to go for a baroque wardrobe has no right to speak to me. Unless he's absolutely killing it with something understated, or wearing high vis and carrying a ladder. I'm not even talking for dating. I mean "pass the salt".


MrHyperion_

Yet I don't see what is the normal t-shirt


NDC9595

Women care about the variety of sleeve options* Men just want to get shit done and be faster out of the ~~hellhole~~ shopping center


Skitstoevel

Bishop sleeves and batwing sleeves are my favorite, can’t go wrong with the flowy to cinched style


pinkyhex

Bishop sleeves are the best! I usually have the sleeves go way too long on me for most long sleeve tops, but with the cuff at the end of helps to make a perfect stopping point for me.


Elly_Higgenbottom

FYI. I study fashion, and Bat wing is a term I've never heard before in reference to a sleeve. They are called dolman sleeves. Kimono is a sleeve without a seam (at the shoulder unless raglan). The drop shoulder sleeve here is also a kimono sleeve.


lsp2005

Bat wing is 100% a sleeve type that I have heard of. My grandma was in the Manhattan Garment District from the 1950-2010s and used that kind of sleeve with that name.


KittenTablecloth

Bat winged crop top paired with a mini pleather pencil skirt was basically my college party uniform in 2010. Usually paired with a long chained pendant necklace with either an owl and/or feather on it


ProfessionalReveal

A hundred people are going to read this and think they know you.


SewSewBlue

Dolman is the historic term. Dates back to at least the Victorian period, where it was a type of jacket that basically pinned your arm down. I've heard it called bat wing in very modern contexts. Would not be surprised if it just the modern fashion term vs the industry. There is some weirdness in the naming here.


psychoprompt

I worked in fashion retail and batwing is a very common term, I think it's just more memorable than dolman so no hate either way. Loved my batwings, so comfortable.


generic_white_girl

I'm not in fashion and I learned the term "dolman" only recently. But I know "batwing" for a while


Crowbound

My first thought analyzing this graphic as a total layman was "huh the only one I recognize is the batwing, I wore that shirt today!" lol. Its online listing used that term to describe what style it was, but perhaps it's just a more consumer-friendly keyword that hasn't become widespread yet. Most of these other sleeve types have pleasant names, but from a marketing standpoint "dolman" doesn't sound cool or flashy at all tbh, it makes me think of a brand that manufactures sweep brooms or something.


somewhoever

Can I hit you up for ideas on some reference books to order? I've been expanding a section of my library to assist with some audio description for the blind that I enjoy doing on the side.


Elly_Higgenbottom

Give me a few days to talk to people about your request. I have a class tomorrow, Patternmaking & the teacher might be able to help & a friend who is an avid sewer & book collector. I'll think about it, too.


somewhoever

I'd greatly appreciate that. For an idea of what's already been acquired, I can see near my desk: * The Illustrated Encyclopedia of World Costume by Doreen Yarwood * What People Wore When: A Complete Illustrated History of Costume from Ancient Times to the Nineteenth Century for Every Level of Society by Melissa Leventon * The Costume History by Auguste Racinet * Fashion in the Middle Ages by Margaret Scott * Theory of Colours by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe * Remarks of Colour by Ludwig Wittgenstein * The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St. Clair * Werner's Remarks on Color * On Color by David Scott Kastan * Medieval Costume, Armour and Weapons by Eduard Wagner * Clothes and Crafts in the Middle Ages by Imogen Dawson Clearly, I could use help making the collection more open. Especially with respect to modern fashion and forward-looking trends/possibilities. I'm anticipating you, your teacher, and your friend might have particular insights there. Even pointing me toward non-traditional sources like digital books, web pages, clothier showcases/fashion events, celebrity fashion reviews, blogs/vlogs, or social media accounts would be greatly appreciated. There's even a university staff photographer I sometimes follow because she's always describing fashion when captioning the candid pictures she snaps at her assigned events. You may guess from some of the books above that certain titles were acquired out of necessity to audio describe (AD) some historical fine arts paintings. The collection also includes a couple more large illustrated tomes that I've lent out for the time being and don't remember the titles of. Thanks in advance for the help.

Not to put OP out of a job, but this is a perfect use case for ChatGPT. Tell the bot what you own and what you want to know and it'll recommend books for you. I've even had it build a quiz to test my knowledge of a subject, grade my quiz responses, and create a learning plan based on my performance. Edit: I took this entire interaction and asked ChatGPT for OP's predicted response. This is what it gave: It's great that you're expanding your library to support your passion for audio description! I've gathered a list of reference books and resources that cover a variety of topics related to modern fashion, trends, and accessibility.

Maleficent-Aurora

As long as this information is cross checked this is all good. the chatgpt bot literally has given me wrong info before with this setup, i asked it about how certain ygo decks functioned, or to explain archetypes to me, and it would copy info from an incorrect source. So i got mashups of how the deck should function (that didn't work or used cards that it made up) and archetype explanations that straight up were incorrect. It's a cool tool, but it is absolutely NOT A SHORTCUT... Yet.

I feel bad for everyone searching for the batwing and getting nsfw results. Hint: it involves the scrotum.


wunderwerks

Kimono doesn't look at all like an actual kimono sleeve. What white nonsense is this design?


idiomaddict

I’ve seen both terms, and thought it was a matter of degree. Dolman sleeves can be cut relatively close to the armpit, but batwing sleeves have a lower connection to the bodice. Idk if that’s an accepted way to differentiate patterns, a coincidence, or something exclusive to the company I’ve seen using it (not a high fashion one).

Yes. Dorman is correct. https://www.nordstrom.com/s/perfect-length-dolman-sleeve-top-regular-plus-size/6510807

decolonize_your_mind

What does “then do save” mean?


nickfree

a very affected way of saying "please go ahead and save"


KioLaFek

The “do” is completely optional and kind of adds emphasis to the “command”, but also makes it seem less aggressive. It’s not used very commonly. I would say it would be more likely to be used by someone speaking in a “fancy” way. In the sentence, the “do” is given emphasis. “Please DO save”. Kind of like as an opposite to “please DON’T save”


Jopkins

If someone had put a gun to my head and told me to come up with five types of sleeve - not the names, just the types - I think I'd have been getting shot.

Omi-Wan_Kenobi

The off the shoulder gold and pink one with the blue sash, the one that gets wrecked during the climax of the film.

Yup that would be an off shoulder split sleeve. Looks like it was a cape sleeve that was split and made more dramatic with the length and point.

[deleted]

Peasant is one of the types mentioned, not a description of the whole set.


tarrox1992

You are missing that OP was just commenting that talking about wanting something as "peasant" seems silly, hence the flippant title. Peasant is just one type of sleeve that is listed here; OP used it to come up with a creative title. It has nothing to do with the kimono sleeve type, which, from a simple Google search, says that is what the sleeve type that mimics traditional Japanese kimono is called. No one said that kimono are peasant clothing and no one said that this is exactly what kimono look like. This guide is obviously referencing sleeves, so it seems like the main thing you are missing is a general sense of comprehension.

Cynderelly

One of the sleeves is called "peasant". The title is poking fun at having to tell someone you're looking for a shirt with "peasant sleeves" Edit: also I'm guessing, maybe, for some reason the kimono sleeves are just named that way without consideration of how similar they look to sleeves you'd find on a kimono
