Can anyone help me figure out the shape of a pattern for sleeves for a Tudor gown? I have to whip something together quickly this weekend, and I'm not a seamstress at all (I'm borrowing my mom's sewing machine). I had hoped that I could perhaps do something simple that wouldn't necessarily have to be perfect or even perfectly period, I just want to emulate the shape of the sleeves with the long opening. I've looked on line for basic shapes to cut out but haven't found anything. I'd like something I can just cut out in perhaps one or two pieces, sew together, and attach to a bodice I already have.
It's for a Madrigal dinner and I've been asked to play the Queen (totally just window dressing). I have a lovely corset that I can get more of the same fabric, and I know I can piece together a skirt fairly easily, but I am stumped on the sleeves. It doesn't even have to be Tudor, I just thought that would lend itself to the shape of my corset.
Am I being totally unrealistic that I can do this? Any advice would be appreciated.
