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!!

It looks wonderful, monster sleeves and all!

I was watching the "Madness of King George" the other day and thought of you. The character Amanda Donohoe plays, Lady Pembroke, looked a bit like you and a wardrobe you could seriously go for. Check it out when you get a chance...

The sleeve is perfect! Just like the picture. :)
The problem with historically puffy sleeves is how much material they take up - one generally doesn't budget metres of material just for sleeves.
Does it have something under it to make it puffy, or is it just the material?
