And thankyou Cindy for the notes on construction...even for a doll!
I am still floundering about the "inside out/outside in."
As illustrated in Arnold and elsewhere, I understand the the longer
sleeves are an actual 'tube' in part. How does it hang for this
gown so that it (1) contains the inner true sleeve and(2) also
reveal the elaborate matching quality of the gown. According to the
painting, this sleeve is as long as the skirt. I made the lining
just as Cindy suggests but cannot get the right effect when the
inner sleeve is inserted and there slis my problem.
Another small query, what is the visible red one can see throught
the space beneath the left arm? This was originally why I thought I
was seeing this "Cape".
According to Hunnisett that is a second skirt, just showing at the
back. I think there may be one or two, in Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe,
but am away from it right now, so cannot confirm.
