The Leg o’ Mutton sleeve made its first appearance in the late 1820s; the style continued into the 1830s. The French originally named this style the gigot sleeve due to the sleeve’s unique shape. In French, gigot literally means the hind quarters of an animal. In the English speaking world, the name translated into Leg of Mutton, or Leg o’ Mutton. This sleeve was characterized by voluminous amounts of fabric at the sleeve cap which eventually tapered down narrowly at the wrist. #invogueimvogue #ootn #eveningdress #expensivelook #fashionstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CDv3FR6pAyL/?igshid=lnsv2dco9bxk
