Swank Events May '19 Introduces the Liziaah Anastasia Floral Puff Top - Its sophisticated shoulder volume makes its chic look tamer but far from boring.


This Oh-so-sweet LIZ Anastasia Floral Puff Top is cut in a slim bare 
midriff silhouette featuring button down accents at the center 
front gore with puff sleeves and shoulders. 

Puffed tops are well worth knowing about, since they have had a 
remarkable history with several versions to the sleeve and shoulders. 


The puff sleeve emerged as a fashion statement during the Renaissance. 
Its acceptance would then ebb and flow past the Edwardian period. 

Puffed sleeves became popular yet again in the 1830s, growing even larger than before. 


Lots of padding was required to keep the puff sleeves puffy which would make the
sleeves hard to move in, with some fashion critics calling the sleeves “imbecile sleeves.” 

Many women couldn't even fit through doorways due to these huge sleeves! Ha!

The puff sleeve resurged in popularity during the 1930s and 40s in response to 
prior decades of shapeless silhouettes and masculine styles. 

The puffed sleeve is indeed a hyper feminine look that has gone through many 
transformations. The puff sleeve was either a short ¾ length or full length sleeve 
gathered at the top or bottom. The sleeves back then were normally 
lined with stiffened fabric to keep its shape. 


This LIZ Anastasia Floral Puff Top is undoubtedly a much tamer version 
than its predecessors and very chic with its puffy sleeves 
paired into a sleeker, more modern silhouette. 

Its sophisticated shoulder volume makes its sheath look anything but boring. 

Please remove all doubt that this puffy look has not made yet another 
glorious comeback - for fashion's most glamorous night of the year at
the Met Gala saw many stars wearing the puffy trend.
