This style, Lara, has a sort of cap sleeve with a button which I found a bit too tight. Unbuttoned it was ok. This style was also about 1 inch shorter than the others. The other styles were just slightly above my ankle. I am 55 and a size 16/18 and the xl was perfect. I love these gowns. The Elizabeth, Helena, and Evelyn are perfect. Beautiful details.  Love the pockets. They wash and dry well too.
