Italian Style Green Gown for a Young Woman - Completed

Here is the completed outfit that I referenced in an earlier post. There are three foreparts and two sets of sleeves that go with the dress and it is mostly handsewn.

Sleeves - Italian Style Green Gown for a Young Woman

These are the sleeves that I made to go with the green Italian style gown that I did an earlier progress post on. 

The sleeve pattern is not in the traditional 16th Century style (with the seam running down the outside back seam), but rather a modern style sleeve with the seam underneath. This is because the patterns for  the bodice and sleeves were 'guess-timations' as the wearer was not available to be fitted.

The plain pair is self -lined, and the pair with hand-sewn trim have a light calico lining because the trim adds quite a lot of stiffness. The sleeves tie on with ribbons through hand-sewn eyelets. I fell my seams by hand to keep everything nice and flat, and I prefer to sew the sleeve hem and lining hem separately so that I can offset the lining to prevent it rolling out if the sleeve stretches a bit with wear.
