Sleeves achieved!

I've been working on my mockup for the Williamsburg dress. I was SOOOOO happy because the pattern from the website just about fits me Perfectly! when sized up. I only had to change a little on the seam between the center back and the wrap-around side pieces.

Then I came to the sleeves ( dun, dun, .. dun!).

Sleeves and I don't get along. We never have. Probably never will - at least no to the extent that bodices and I get along.

But after some messing with the sleeve in the pattern, and looking at every late 1700s to Regency sleeve and sleeve pattern I could find, I finally got one that worked!!!
