A somewhat unusual but not unheard-of style, this type of sleeve was tight on the arm until about 2/3 up the arm where there is a double puff.

 

The same style is shown here.

 
This lady has very unusual but creative scalloped pagoda sleeves.
A very common sleeve style was the "coat" sleeve.  This was generally a two piece sleeve, which was very wide and curved at the elbow to create a visual contrast to the small waist. 
This young lady wears another very popular style, the "bishop" sleeve.  It consisted of a large rectangle of fabric pleated or gathered into the armhole, and gathered into a cuff.
