That's a cut on sleeve in the front and a raglan sleeve, covered by the flange, in the back. Interesting. Wow, Thanks Alex!

The padded and extended shoulders we're seeing in suits do seem to have gotten slightly higher and more squared this Fall/Winter. Nanflan, this is a style that was exaggerated to the extreme football shoulder pads seen in the 1980's. Hope we don't go back there!!! I have seen the wider sleeves (bat wing/dolman) in blouses this year and the flange detail, as the illustration of Cochenille's CD shows, seems to draw a vertical line that makes the wide sleeves more wearable. Nothing worse than a batwing sleeve with a large bust: the acreage above the waist gets to be way too horizontal and undefined. Betty: I believe that you’re right.

It was actually very similar to the one you created for your smock. Of course, I no longer have the pattern (sigh). I remember the flange on a favorite blouse pattern of the 1980’s.

I think they might be coming back! I recently saw a similar jacket on a fashion site (can’t remember which one). I think they might be coming back!

I think the reason I can't find any current offerings of this style in RTW online is because it is completely the opposite of "cool" at the moment! I think you were safe in not keeping the uniforms... Thanks for the good wishes, Alex.

Had I known they were "cool", I would have kept them. Hmm… we had those flanges on our nursing school uniforms. Had I known they were “cool”, I would have kept them.
