Bouffant Sleeves

Taking a cue from the 30s and 40s, channelling Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, Fall 2009's style is WWI provocative lady a la dick tracy, showing how it was like when the husbands weren't there. If you've ever seen those AMC classic movies, you'd get what I mean. Coats nipped at the waist, Hats, Gloves, Aeroplanes. Furs, lace, bows, gold accessories, velvet and moire say, "I've still got it." We've fallen on hard times, it's a dark period but the glamour girl portrayed rides strong.

I love the word Bouffant. Bouffant hair? Meh. So-so. But bouffant sleeves - oh, so so sexy. They accentuate a woman's shoulders.
