Oh, no, it was custom-made for her--she sent her sister a dress of hers and 
 her daughter's, and her sister had several outfits specially made in the 
latest  fashion.  They were the envy of all the ladies in Washington DC.

Since I am about to proliferate an original idea, I wanted to put it  
up here
to make sure it doesn't get hijacked.  I have studied 16th century  
Irish
clothing for the last 25 years.  Leine (Irish bag sleeves) have  
never looked

right how they have been interpreted by re-enactors.  SO, I fixed it.

The 15th century bagpipe sleeves on men's outer garments is the  
basis of the
idea.  The pattern is seamed down the back of the arm, instead of in  
the
underarm.  It has a curved underarm and sleeve cap.  (Looks like a  
doublet
pattern, with the bag added.)  The gusset under the arm is  
triangular, and

set into the side seam to create a round armseye.

They hang correctly.  They don't fall on the ground when one tries  
to pick
something up.  And they provide the drape, as well as the elbow  
creases

shown in some of the period illustrations.

My pattern is coming in to use in my re-enactment group, Clan  
MacColin of
Glenderry.  I have been talking about this for a couple of years,  
and it has

been used and works.

Ever,
