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.

A sleeve style in which the armhole is cut very deep and tapers to a fitted wrist. The dolman sleeve was originally borrowed from the Turkish dolman cape and continues to provide ease of movement about the armholes; it has been adapted to everything from couture evening wear to sporty outerwear.
