>I'd pane it, but leave a couple of beads off between the armpit and the elbow. I chose not to pane the under sleeve section. The upper sleeve section is paned & will be joined with a large gold whatnot, just like yours. The edges of each pane and of the undersleeve section have delicate lacy gold trim. Since there's no trim or beads under there, there's no risk of marking my ivory silk satin brocade. The sleeve design I chose is based on the extant remains of Eleanor of Toledo's gown in the Pitti Palace.
