12. Mutton leg sleeve blouse

One of the most underrated sleeve styles I‘ve come across is mutton leg sleeves. There is puffiness at the shoulders similar to the puff sleeves while making a fitted long sleeve till the wrist. This blouse pattern is not only limited to sari blouses but is also best for the gown, lehenga blouses, casual tops, etc. They make you look endlessly chic and fabulous.

14. Ruffle or Flutter sleeve blouse

Most of the time the terms “ruffle” sleeves and “bell” sleeves are used interchangeably. However, ruffle sleeves are made by gathering the fabric in a  specific way and adding to the armhole rather at the end of the sleeves. The width of flutters can vary from small to large. These blouses look great on women with skinny arms.

15. Bell sleeve blouse

Bell sleeve blouses are becoming so trendy and everyone is getting so obsessed with it. They can be stitched differently based on the length, width, and the number of layers. Since it adds a voluminous effect, this design might not look good on thicker arms.

16. Long blouse 

Are you a person who is conscious about showing the belly while wearing a sari, then this design is right for you. Another added advantage is the number of ways a saree can be draped as well as styled with a long blouse is nearly endless. The thing is that you can easily integrate the above mentioned design ideas to this blouse style. It’s highly recommended not to choose heavily embellished fabrics for this blouse style.
