We've learned a lot about sleeve patterns while making our 1830s gown....basically - they're super weird y'all. So, to help a fellow costumer out, we figured going over a couple patterns that we have from Truly Victorian and Workwoman's Guide would be helpful for anyone who is getting ready to venture into the 1830s.

If you haven't checked out Workwoman's Guide yet - you can read it for free on Google Books (hooray!) -
