Cap Sleeve

n. A very short sleeve that hangs over the shoulder but does not extend beyond the armhole on the underside. Found on dresses, tops, sweaters, jackets and sometimes swimwear.

Look (and feel) elegant in this Carolina Herrera Bow Front Cocktail Dress with Cap Sleeves, $3,680.

    Cap sleeves are really "hard" for most people. Unless you have super skinny arms they don't look good.

    I ADORE this dress; however, the price tag is outrageous. I would love to find a less expensive version...

    Beautiful dress, whopping price tag and yes, cap sleeves are for those with lovely arms.

    This dress is fantastic. But yeah, can't afford. Also agree with SarahwithanH, that cap sleeves look best with thin or really toned arms.
