I found another one!
More Pinterest sleeves!

This one is mostly NOT historical, but there are some really artistic sleeve treatments featured, as well as basic drafting tutorials.

Check this out:






Also some links from Festive Attyre, etc. Good stuff!

Those are FUN!  I LOVE the lace sleeve, and the strappy one is really neat, also! 

For some reason the double cap treatment reminds me of something you might see a cute alien girl wearing on an old episode of Star Trek (which of course means that I love it, also!)...  :D  heheh

I like the strappy one too!  Wonder what I could incorporate that in...
Lady Crimson Cadena

Clan of the Celtic Rogues
TRF
Sherwood Forest Faire (Home faire)

The lacy sleeve just gave me an idea for a future fantasy project..

That was my thought, too!  ;D I think it's b/c of the highly textured double knit fabric it's made from, and of course, the bright solid almost-red. Very William Ware Theiss/Robert Blackman. But what I liked about it, for *Ren* costuming, is the idea of a double-layer doublet wing. Yes? Can't you see it?

And Lady K, if you like that lace engageante (is there a singular of engageantes?), check out this Alexander McQueen confection in brodierie anglaise!! (The picture is too huge to post here, alas.)

Crimson, aren't those straps great?

Love the lace sleeves!!  definitely right up my alley!
Got faerie dust?

Oh, yes... I can definitely picture it!  And for either a mans doublet OR a ladies doublet bodice, with sleeves attached underneath!

It would certainly work....either a dressy man's doublet; definitely a lady's.....
What do you think?  The upper wing longer...or the lower?

Several of Robert Dudley's portraits show multiple wing shoulder treatments.
