Is There a Name for this Type of Sleeve?

Great atomic print dress....not sure what to call the sleeves
though - keyhole?

peek-a-boo?

Thanks Jonathan - I think peek-a-boo is perfect!

That's also the very first thing that came to my feeble mind when I saw them, even b-4 I read Jonathan's post, so it must fit! Great dress-- is that a scalloped waistline I see there?

 

[bartondoll]

Thanks Anne. Yes it is scalloped and trimmed with the turquoise. The
sleeves are also faced with the turquoise and little round turquoise and
black buttons join the sleeves together. I stupidly deleted my
closeup pic of the bodice and will have to retake it tomorrow.

Cut out?

<i>Cut out?</i>

That is the "real" term for these, isn't it? Seems to me that is correct lingo for these, Chris....

I thought cut out when I saw it. But...peek-a-boo sounds much more glamorous. Gorgeous dress :spin:

What a lovely dress, Sue!

Thanks everyone - I went with "peek-a-boo", but agree that "cut-out" is probably the right term. Peek-a-boo sounds more coy and appealing I think.
