| jacket's sleeves |
The jacket's sleeves deserve a category just for themselves. So, lightly based on 16th century slashed sleeves, I drafted the following. First I drafted a normal sleeve, to fit the sleeve hole normally, and tested the fit on my mock-up. This will be the lining, in the burgundy satin. Then I copied it, marked where I want the slashes to stop, and lenghtened the top part by about 1/3. In the artwork I count 5 strips, so I divide the width in 5, leaving the inner part of the sleeve out (no need for puffyness there) and cut the slashes at even widths. This will be the outer sleeve, in the cherry red grosgrain, and the top part will also be lined separately, with the burgundy satin. The third part is the inner puff sleeve. I take the normal sleeve as a reference again, and make a short puff sleeve, much wider, and as tall as the slashes. I also add a bit to the bottom, to add to the puffyness. This will be in the burgundy satin.
+ Although I didn't make a mock up, just for the base sleeve, I'm fairly sure this will work out, I added so much to the puffy part!
- I'm a bit concerned the inner sleeve satin won't keep its shape, it's very drapey, so I'll probably need to make a shoulder ruffle in stiff tulle, to add puffyness inside.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Just cut the sleeves in the designated fabrics.
