Tie shoulders fasten with bows at the shoulder for adjustable, feminine detail. The bows add a sweet focal point and let you customize the fit. These tees feel summery and romantic — perfect with skirts and sandals.
Sleeves shift visual weight, so use them strategically. Voluminous sleeves (bell, dolman, bishop) balance wider hips by adding fullness up top; slim sleeves keep broad shoulders streamlined. Petite frames do best with proportionally smaller sleeve details that do not overwhelm. Think of sleeves as the tee's architecture — they set the silhouette's tone before anything else.
A well-cut sleeve ends where it should: short sleeves at mid-bicep, three-quarter between elbow and wrist, long sleeves at the wrist bone. Sleeves that squeeze the arm or stretch the shoulder seam past your natural shoulder mean the size is wrong. The armhole should allow a full range of motion without pulling — raise your arms in the fitting room and watch for strain lines.
Tie them securely in double knots; single bows loosen through the day.
