The sleeves will be made up of four individual sections; a puffy upper sleeve embellished with beads and jewels, an upper sleeve band to match the bodice, a fancy cream fabric lower sleeve, and huge hanging sleeve. The first three will get built up onto the sleeve lining, and after the sleeve and underarm seams are sewn, the over sleeves will get added. So first will be the upper sleeve puffs.
I had a bit of a nice sheer, cream fabric with gold threads woven in it, but it was too flimsy to embroider gold lines onto, so I got some cream tulle to help support it. But then I saw the scraps of cream striped fabric with the gold lines already in it. So, forget the tulle, and baste that striped fabric over top instead.
