Hi,
I am going to make an anime costume witch has leg o'mutton sleeves.

Normally shirts are from lightweight cotton but I wonder if that would
work well with these sleeves.
Ah, the joys of recreating costumes drawn by people who don't understand
fabric... :)
If the light cotton is not stiff enough you can line the top half of the
sleeve with heavy net to help it hold its shape. Also, sometimes they
put a stiff ruffle inside the top of the arm to help hold the fabric out.
Should I cut the sleeves on the strait or on the cross grain?
What does your pattern say to do?
When I made my dress a few years ago I cut it on the straight grain.
