What is an angel wing sleeve?
Angel wings is the terms for those ruffled sleeve caps you see on a sleeveless bishop or basic square yoke dress. It is made by adding a small piece of gathered fabric that is curved on the edge to form a ruffle at the sleeve cap. It’s called an angel wing because it looks like a wing. Here is an example of an angel sleeve from one of my daughter’s bishop dresses. As per the pattern directions I finished off the sleeve with Entredeux attached to a small scalloped Swiss edging.
