About elbow and 3/4 sleeves blouse design
Elbow sleeves end at the elbow, about 10 to 12 inches long, and 3/4 sleeves (3/4 baju) go a little lower, about 14 to 16 inches. Both cover the upper arm well, so they suit heavy arms, older women and anyone who likes a covered look. They are a classic choice for pujas, office and family functions. The design sits at the hem: a saree border, lace, scallops, buttons or a small slit.
Tips for elbow and 3/4 sleeves blouse design
- A small slit or a row of potli buttons at the hem dresses up a plain elbow sleeve without any embroidery.
- Ask for a little ease at the elbow, so the sleeve does not cut in when you bend your arm.
- For heavy arms, keep the sleeve straight, a little loose and in the blouse colour. A contrast band at the widest part of the arm adds bulk.
- Elbow and 3/4 sleeves need about 1 metre of blouse cloth, a little more than short sleeves.
Questions people ask
Which is better, elbow or 3/4 sleeves?
Elbow sleeves are cooler and easier to move in. 3/4 sleeves cover more of the arm and suit cooler months.
What is the length of 3/4 sleeves in a blouse?
For a medium size, 3/4 sleeves are usually 14 to 16 inches from the shoulder, and elbow sleeves 10 to 12 inches. Your tailor will adjust for your arm.
Do elbow sleeves suit a silk saree?
Yes. Elbow sleeves with a zari border are the most common match for Kanjivaram, Paithani and Banarasi silk sarees.
