Tulip Sleeves: Yea or Nay?

{source}

Are tulip sleeves controversial? I guess we're about to find out! I'm adding them to a pattern variation in my book, and I suddenly began to wonder what the general consensus was on the matter.

Personally, I do like these sweet little sleeves. They add an interesting design line, and their split structure makes them comfy rather than confining. I prefer when they're petite with a bit of gathering on the sleeve cap.

I think tulip sleeves were done best in the 1940s. The proportions were just right.

They had slimmed down from the 30s, which were quite fluffier. All the more dramatic to wear with your turban!

Tulip sleeves seem to have fallen out of fashion in the 50s and 60s, only to return with a vengeance in the 70s and 80s. These are like Little Shop of Horrors tulip sleeves.

Your turn to weigh in, readers. Yea or nay on the tulip sleeve?

P.S. They're easy to draft! There's a great post on the subject here.
