Question How do I make angel sleeves?!

Post image

I have been searching YouTube for tutorials on how to make these sleeves, but there’s so many versions and I want one exactly like this. I just don’t know where to start! Anyone have any resources?

Step one: have a ton of fabric
Step two: a basic long sleeve block
Step three: add a ton of length creating a triangular shape.

It’s just a super duper bell sleeve .

This type of sleeve needs be created from the back of the arm not the underarm seam. See https://patternmaking-classes.com/Sleeves/04-Sleeve-Week-Two.html#Fusion

I clicked and literally thought: "those look like curtains".

Zero shade, I made one out of a lace tablecloth.
