VINTAGE DRESS WITH FLARED SLEEVES

During the 40's sleeves go extreme in tiered frill, like sweet bells of flowers. Adrian, the famous costume designer, usually drew dresses with wide flared sleeves, for Joan Crawford to hide her extremely small shoulders. After some years, in the 70's, flared sleeves embellish dresses with simpler silhouettes, for a romantic fashion with a bohémian taste.
