I did not know that there are as many as 45 different types of sleeves. My tailour never alerted me about them.
The only sleeves I have ever worn are full sleeves, three quarter sleeves, magyar sleeves, regular sleeves and puffed sleeves,
When I was wearing sarees I only wore sleeveless blouses.
I spent some time looking at those 45 different types of sleeves. I am posting that link here. I am sure you will find it interesting.
What kind of sleeves do you wear?
Learn about the different sleeve styles and types. Main kinds of sleeves like set in sleeves, ragalan sleeves and one piece sleeves are further categorized.

I will no longer wear anything that is sleeveless as my arms have put on a lot of weight (lol)

@allknowing At some point I think everyone's upper arm skin gets a little looser than it used to be.

@AmbiePam When I was younger I did have arms that were meant to be exposed but not any more (lol)

Going through the list I recognize some, like "Raglan sleeves" that are still very popular for sweaters.
I like both Puff sleeves and Frill sleeves, butterfly are also cute. I never liked "cold shoulders" almost no one looks nice wearing those sleeves.

Did not know there were so many types. As I said in my post wish my tailor knew about them as in my younger days I would have certainly liked a variety. never worn butterfly or frill sleeves.

@allknowing My Mom knew, as she was a tailor before getting married. I had some dresses with butterfly and frill sleeves, summer dresses.

@Shasha_ You may have to look closely Why would they give names to the same pattern?
