Lamb Chop makes her first appearance!

I need an icon for huge sleeves!

Here is the sleeve before it was gathered and sewn to the sleeve stay. It covered an entire 2-seater bench!!



Then here is Lamb Chop just pinned to the dressform. I wanted to see how it looked. I LOVE it!!

Sleeve fashions from 1896 and a photo

The following article from the London Times on Feb 16, 1896 forecasts the Fall of the Big Sleeves! Oh no!! I'm out of fashion already!



Anyway, I did the second sleeve today, so now we have two Lamb Chops! OMG, this gown is going to make me look very regal and important!! That is, if you can find my head around my gigantic sleeves!!
