I also find these sleeves a little tricky. I kind of miss normal sleeves..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1909247 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:21:46 +0000 Molly Mac 1909247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an Ann Taylor bracelet sleeved jacket (@ 5 years old) that I wear with my bell sleeved tops. On really cold days I just wrap them and slide on my winter coat. Easy Peasy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1909058 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 20:05:52 +0000 Anonymous 1909058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wikipedia explains it fairly well - complete with some photos . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1909045 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 19:41:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 1909045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder what a ruana is. I've never heard that word until this moment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1909041 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 19:36:13 +0000 Cardiff girl 1909041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that Angie has answered your question! And given that she s in the middle of writing a post on it ,a very pertinent question it is too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908974 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 18:06:03 +0000 unfrumped 1908974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Colette said. And I appreciate Angie’s tips. These are just not practical for me so I did not go into this trend much. I don’t have use for the types of coats needed for them in winter. I might do a summer wear- alone top if I really liked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908967 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:44:25 +0000 Anonymous 1908967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking forward to Angie’s post. Flouncy cuffs showcase hands too much for me to wear them, but they look great on my sister who has beautiful hands, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908962 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:29:55 +0000 Anonymous 1908962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette took the words right out of my mouth. &nbsp;A couple of ruana cut wraps are perfect, as is a cape or bracelet sleeved coat. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908955 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:07:53 +0000 Colette 1908955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I avoid tops like that in seasons I need a coat. I do have some flouncy and bell sleeved tops but only for warm spring and summer days. And I do have a ruana just in case because our weather is really becoming more and more unpredictable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908954 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:06:36 +0000 Chris987 1908954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent Angie! i will look for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908953 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:06:16 +0000 Staysfit 1908953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m looking forward to Angie’s post. I have avoided purchasing many tops with flounced sleeves because of this, and also because of the annoyance of the flounce getting wet when I wash my hands. I have tried my best, but it seems no matter what I end up with a ruffle dangling into sink. Yuck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908952 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:59:13 +0000 Joyce B 1908952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are very annoying. I wear a jacket or coat over my long sleeved tops with flounce. I was thinking that 3/4 length would be easier to manage for daily activities but putting a jacket or coat over them seems impossible.<br /> I have a tartan BR jacket with short flounce on the sleeves that works very well over my tops and cardis with flounced sleeves.<br /> I will be waiting to read Angie’s post for more info on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908951 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:53:59 +0000 Angie 1908951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am writing a post on that NOW.&nbsp; <ul> <li>Go without a topper</li> <li>Wear a scarf for warmth</li> <li>Wear a bell shaped topper</li> <li>Wrap or cape</li> <li>Need exuberant sleeves in SOFT slippery fabric so that they scrunch under a topper but hold their shape when the topper is removed.</li> <li>Wear a blouson sleeve with a cuff instead of a flounced sleeve that flares out.&nbsp;</li> </ul> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dealing-with-flouncy-cuffs-on-tops#post-1908950 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:49:04 +0000 Chris987 1908950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone figured out how to wear a jacket over tops with big flouncy cuffs without having to fuss too much? &nbsp;I&nbsp;have and really like&nbsp;the black sweater shown in finds but the cuffs have a bit of thickness to them and I have to manually fold them up and hold them in place&nbsp;before I can put on a jacket or coat.&nbsp;It's quite fussy and annoying.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm thinking about the blue and yellow sweaters shown below but dealing with these flouncy cuffs is such a pain.</p> <p>I suppose maybe you could&nbsp;use elastic bands like you do&nbsp;with loose pant legs when riding a bicycle, or wear under a sleeveless vest (denim or otherwise), or&nbsp;only&nbsp;wear this type of top in&nbsp;warmer temps where a topper is not needed. </p> <p>Would love to hear any suggestions...</p>
