Sleeves with puffs on or just below the shoulders have been a part of women's clothing, and even men's, since at least the late 15th century, and could get fairly large, like the sleeves on this dress.◊ Yet during the late 19th century came the "leg of mutton" sleeves, which were shoulder puffs injected with growth hormones.note Proper Leg-Of-mutton sleeves always had a tighter sleeve that went down to the wrist: This is not necessary to count as this trope. These balloons, most popular during the 1830s, and again during The Gay '90s and the early 1900s, were just huge.◊ Today, they are usually seen in wedding dresses, but do show up in other places. Armor over the shoulders has a similar shape. The surest way to tell if it's this trope is if the wearer's head could fit in one of those sleeves (not counting her hair). Often part of a Pimped-Out Dress, especially a Fairytale Wedding Dress. Yet it's not limited to those. Some outfits put it on sweaters, coats, and even a Leotard of Power. Compare Shoulders of Doom and '80s Hair. Examples |

Disney The Hunchback of Notre Dame: The white top of Esmerelda's dress only has elbow-length sleeves, but they are still very puffy. At least one Notre Dame parishioner during the "God Help the Outcasts" musical number also has these. The Little Mermaid: Ariel's pink dress has regular puffs, but her Fairytale Wedding Dress fits this. The Princess and the Frog: Charlotte's party dress. |

Call the Midwife: In one episode, Nurse Lee is seconded to the London Hospital, and has to wear the hospital’s nursing uniform, rather than her more practical district nursing uniform. The uniform—which as the matron notes was "designed by Hartnell" and is thus "practically couture"—includes poofy shoulders. The creators have discussed how the poofy shoulders actually made filming more difficult, as they would obscure the actresses’ faces if the blocking and camera angles weren’t planned carefully. | |

In Steven Universe, Garnet has these in all of her outfits, combined with her Shoulders of Doom. As a result, many of her fusions have large puffs as well as their Shoulders of Doom, like Sugilite, Sardonyx, and Alexandrite. We know that Garnet gets her sleeves from Sapphire, who has big, puffy sleeves on her dress, and she's been shown to have them since she met Ruby 5750 years ago. Padparadscha, another Sapphire, also has these. It seems to be the default outfit among Gems of her kind. Pink Diamond was shown to have these in her first appearance in "Jungle Moon." Pearl also had them when the war on Earth started. Spinel has these in both her previous form, in which they were rounded, and her current form, in which they are more pointed. |

Shovel Knight brings us the occasional male example in the form of King Knight, a bumbling, self-made ruler who decks himself out in gold armor with poofy sleeves, an ermine cape, and wielding his scepter in battle. Almost everyone save his mother agrees he's more or less all talk, even after usurping Pridemoor Keep during the events of King of Cards. Hilariously, King Knight's sleeve-puffs are each the size of his helmet. | |

This is among the few costume tropes that sees little use in the Touhou Project series, and is understated when it does show up. However, the two characters that do possess it (Cirno and occasionally Marisa) are among the most popular. | |

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, several of the wardrobe had these in keeping with the decade. One of the most standouts being Lucy's wedding (and later funeral) dress which is poofy around the sleeves. | |

A rare male example: The Engineer in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has huge, poofy sleeves. While not as extreme as other examples, they are still huge and extravagant, when the idea of the game is to not draw attention to yourself. | |

In Anne of Green Gables, Anne longs for a dress with fashionable puffed sleeves, which her practical guardian Marilla refuses to give her, believing them to be a frivolous waste of fabric. When Marilla's shy brother Matthew goes to the trouble of ordering a dress as a gift for Anne, he remembers the puffed sleeves, and Anne is ecstatic - Marilla somewhat less so. "You'll have to turn sideways to go through a door!" In later books, after the fashions have changed, Anne still looks back fondly on puffed sleeves, perhaps in part because of the association with the first truly pretty clothes she'd ever had. View the TV miniseries' version of the dress here◊. | |

In the Filipino epic Florante at Laura this is sometimes envisioned as the dress of Christian European male nobility, like Florante himself, regardless of historical accuracy (the epic is set sometime during The Crusades or The High Middle Ages). Some textbook and comic illustrations show him and his male compatriots with slashed and poofy sleeves reminiscent of what Spanish conquistadores were wearing when they first colonised the Philippines in the mid-1500s, which however is long after the Crusades or the medieval period. | |

Samus Aran's Varia suit in Metroid (overlapping with Shoulders of Doom). Sure the suit is one of the most badass video game outfits ever, but look at the shoulders. They're each as big as her head. With her helmet on. They were created for the sprites in Metroid II: Return of Samus on the Game Boy, since the original game showed the Varia suit with a Palette Swap, which wasn't a reasonable option this time. | |

Friends: A flashback to Monica and Rachel's prom night, which took place in the late 80s, shows us that Rachel's prom dress had a massive pair of these sleeves. They keep slipping off her shoulders prompting her to ask Ross, who's secrectly in love with her, to check the hook that's supposed to hold them together. In the second season finale Rachel is acting as Maid of Honor at Barry and Mindy's wedding. The bridesmaid dress she's forced to wear has these along with being neon pink and having a huge poofy skirt to match. |

Psylocke of the X-Men started her super-heroic career filling in for her brother as Captain Britain. Her version of the costume featured red, white and blue hair and seriously giant poofy sleeves. She kept the sleeve theme in her first X-Men costume; sadly, they later fell victim to practicality, when she switched to body armour. | |

Downton Abbey: The leg-of-mutton sleeve is mentioned when Susan Flintshire argues with her daughter Rose about the latter's rather risque fashion choices (even saying she looks like a slut). Susan's aunt, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, is hardly a woman known for embracing modern novelties, and Susan tries to get her support in the argument. Yet the Dowager fully sides with Rose and says that what she wore in her day (the 1860s) was considered very unusual as well. | |
