I've just cut out my paned sleeves and am planning to put a large gold
bead at each join - but am wondering what is normally done with the
underarm seam - do people join this seam or pane it as well? And if
paned, do you sew a bed to match the rest of the sleeve or leave just
plain? The dress is a ballgown - so people will see under the arm.
I make Irish dance costumes - so know that beads under arms can tear
fabric of the dress - so am naturally very cautious.
I'd pane it, but leave a couple of beads off between the armpit and the
elbow.
