I don't know about the short sleeves but she is whacking linen. I saw a
demonstration at my weaving guild and it was just like that. I'm not familar
with the term for the technique.

Hmmmm... maybe I am putting 2+3 and getting 7 here, but could this image
below be an example of a short sleeved kirtle with an attached sleeve?

zoom in close to the far left of the image. It is a woman working whacking
something. She's wearing green dress with short upper sleeves, and a
pinkish colored lower sleeve. She's holding a cudgel? or something in her
hands.
Granted, it is a working woman who is from Belgium, not England. She's
also not a noble woman, but could this be an example of something similar
to what we can't see under Tudor gowns?
