Well the intent of the sleeves is to not look different to the partlet, if
they are indeed seperate items;)
I personally feel she is wearing a garment similar to the smock in the V&A
that is heavily embroidered and would surely not have been worn next to the
skin:

There is a typo, the chemise is all linen, but of two grades. It is not a
silk upper half.
In regards to seperate items, I am not discounting that they exist.
Does anyone remember what book has a picture of some blackworked sleeves in
it? I know there is also a picture of uncut blackworked sleeves somewhere
else as well.
They show that there were indeed seperate items, even aside from what is in
written inventories (which can be hard to understand given the change of
language over time.)

I think that the book you are referring to is QEWU.
