Comments on: How to Deal With Too Much Width in Your Sleeve Cap https://historicalsewing.com/how-to-deal-with-too-much-width-in-your-sleeve-cap 19th Century Costuming for Those Who Dream of the Past Sat, 27 Jan 2024 00:42:38 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dan K Thompson https://historicalsewing.com/how-to-deal-with-too-much-width-in-your-sleeve-cap/comment-page-1#comment-268533 Sat, 27 Jan 2024 00:42:38 +0000 http://historicalsewing.com/?p=4117#comment-268533 Thank you so much for sharing your love of this beautiful art form. For a beginner, sleeves are a problem. But watching this shows me that everyone has had problems with sleeves at some point or the other… and that is very reassuring to hear. I love Victorian Gowns and I guess I can say that I love cosplay and cross dressing. Wish me luck on this wonderful journey.

Not usually. If you did that it would make the entire sleeve narrower – at the elbow and wrist lines. If you need that alteration below the bicep line, then yes, you would/could take the same dart width (rectangle) all the way from top sleeve cap to hem. But if you are merely reducing sleeve cap width then taper the dart shape to nothing at the hem.

It can be set smooth into the armhole or have a bit of fullness – especially as you move into the 18-Teens. Generally, the fuller the sleeve head (top of sleeve) the later the style. Make sure to review the Regency years you are creating so as to not make your puffed sleeve too big. […]
