Hi!
You've probably never heard of me since I don't post, but I thought I could
help. I have a striped wool waist that is very structured. In the top of
the sleeve is starched netting drawn up and a piece of the fabric lining
between the netting and sleeve material. The interesting thing is that it
has a strip of cloth from the top shoulder to the bottom of leg o'mutton
sleeve. It is drawn up tightly so the sleeve will never hang down flat.
By the way, can anyone tell me how to unsubscribe? I am caring for my mother
now and can't keep up with the mail.
Thanks,
Sue

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.

What does your pattern say to do?
When I made my dress a few years ago I cut it on the straight grain.
