Drafting a Princess Puff Short Sleeve
There are so many styles of puff sleeves to choose from, but this variation offers a unique amount of fullness, since the sleeve is not only gathered at the cap, but also along the underarm. The princess puff short sleeve is perfect for evening and bridalwear, sportswear and even for childrenswear.
The sleeve sloper that you will need for this lesson can be found and drafted in our lesson: Straight Sleeve Sloper.
