But there are so many possibilitieswith these sleeves – really! For instance, you could leave thepleat allowance on the inside (= subtle volume), feature thepleat allowance on the outside (= genuine statement sleeves),or go for a combination of the two (= a playful effect). Mayahas an invisible zip at the back. Lengthening and shorteningthis dress is a breeze.
