English term or phrase: virago sleeve

A virago sleeve is a full, paned sleeve, used in the early seventeenth century in western Europe. It was made from a series of cloth strips, which were gathered into two puffs by a ribbon or cloth band just above the elbow. The main sleeve strips were often embroidered. This type of sleeve was fashionable for women’s clothing in the 1620's and '30's.

Wide paned sleeves tied into puffed sections along the arm.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Le terme "manche gigot" s'applique effectivement à une manche longue, bouffante dans le haut et ajustée sur l'avant-bras. Ce style correspond au début du XIXe siècle.
