The sleeves are a single layer of the fabric and have elastics at each wrist so have the slightest balloon effect

The cut is very caftan feeling - my mannequin is a size 4-6 and it is not pinned on her

1960s Peach & Gold Oscar De La Renta designer-nat-kaplan The sleeves are a singleStunning sixties dress from Oscar De La Renta in a delicious feminine peach silk organza over a silk crepe interior.

The sleeves are slightly full and are left semi sheer with no lining and each snaps to close at the wrist, creating a slight puff just above. Gold thread
