Description: Dolman Sleeves, Please 
Blouses have been gravitating to fuller, boxier, cropped cuts for some time now, so it was no surprise to see so many designers playing around with even fuller silhouettes and classic dolman sleeves. Some of the blouses referenced vintage surf hoodies, while others felt very modern and almost evening like. 
Karen Walker, Yigal Azrouël, Vena Cava, Rag & Bone manage to give this typically casual piece an old Hollywood sophistication.
