Blouses with a bat sleeve came from the Japanese kimono, but were especially popular in the eighties of the twentieth century. Now these models are back in fashion and women are happy to wear them, because, in addition to the style and unusualness of this cut, they are incredibly convenient and comfortable.
Sleeve Features
A “bat” is a loose fit that has a long or 3/4 wide sleeve on the cuff. This blouse is suitable for women with a wide variety of types of figures.
Who is it for?
With the help of a blouse with a sleeve "bat", you can visually fix many of the shortcomings of the figure. If you are overweight, then this style will help you beautifully emphasize the chest, but at the same time hide your stomach and full arms.
The owners of the "rectangle" figure should also pay attention to this model - this cut hides the waist and no one will notice its absence.
Women suffering from excessive leanness can also wear this style, but with the condition that the fabric is dense - so they visually add a few missing centimeters to themselves. However, for those whose growth is far from model, you should be careful - a blouse with a bat sleeve can easily reduce it, so you should wear it exclusively with high-heeled shoes.
Models
There are not so many varieties of blouses with a bat sleeve, but they differ in the type of collar or neckline. The neckline can be round, V-shaped, boat, and also located on the back.
Collars are a type of collar, stand-up collar or stand-up-turn-down - these are the most popular options.
Sometimes there are models that emphasize the waist; they are best suited for women with a type of figure hourglass or pear.
In stores you can find blouses made of various materials. In summer and spring it can be chiffon, silk, satin, knitwear, cotton or lace.On hot days, chiffon is especially appreciated, because this fabric creates not only an airy look, but also really comfortable and does not constrain movements.
In autumn and winter, it is worthwhile to pay attention to models made of wool, thick knitwear, cashmere and angora.
Depending on the fabric and neckline, you can choose a blouse in which you can appear at a gala event, party, date or at work where there is no strict dress code.

In the summer I want to wear light and airy blouses - the white color and the bat sleeve cope with this task as well as possible.
