http://snipurl.com/h35y http://snipurl.com/h35z These don't look narrow to me. Granted they aren't pagoda sleeves....they're NARROWER.... but I'd not say they are fitted at all. And the other examples are all split at the bottom to give that bell shape with the engagent or poofed to have a full silhouette...the effect of the blue dress with the two upper arm poofs. The trend is definitely to have fullness on the arm. And the skirts are flat pleated. BUT...like I say...never say never. The other thing is, fashion plates are fashion plates. The real dresses I've seen are usually full of sleeve and sans point. I don't mean to sound argument here...just letting you know where I'm coming from. I'm sure we'll both agree that in the early 60s sleeves are generally full and the point from the 50s is still around. This tends towards a narrower [but not fitted] sleeve and a straight waistline as the decade progresses. Also, that the Simplicity pattern is right good and well worth having. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
