Welcome to zen sleeve-fitting, where we banish the thought of "sleevils" and embrace the set-in sleeve. While there is more than one way to set an18th-century sleeve, this is how Abby likes to do it and how she teaches others to do it as well.
While #sewingishard - sleeves don't have to be! Just remember to keep it chill and it'll work out (and don't be afraid to take the sleeve completely off the arm and put it back on again if it is being naughty).
For more information about 18th century dressmaking & beauty check out our books here: american-duchess.com/book
