Sleeve Pictures

[theladyrebecca]

I re-pleated one of my sleeves on Tuesday afternoon, added velvet ribbon over the pleats, and even managed to attach it to the bodice. So at this point, that sleeve just needs a hem (or a band, I haven't decided yet), and then it's done. I'm hoping to fix the pleats on the other sleeve today, though I also still need to pleat the lining of the second sleeve as well. And I only have about 30 mins of potential sewing time between work and rehearsal today. Sooo... not sure how much will actually get done. 

Anyway, here's some pictures of the sleeve and the dress so far. The dress also still needs a hem, the hooks and eyes up the back, and the bertha.

YAY! Ginormous sleeves FTW!

[theladyrebecca]

It's funny, though - because of all the pleating at the top, they don't feel ginormous at all!

Gorgeous! The volume of the puff is great and the green ribbon looks lovely!

[theladyrebecca]

Thanks! I was originally going to do self-fabric bands, but it looked very eh. But then I found the ribbon in my stash, and I had just barely enough!

This is really coming along nicely. The green ribbon on the sleeves is a perfect amount of contrast.
