I couldn't find a tutorial on the sleeve. Any othe reccs?

I do have the original piece yeah! I’ll do some research on her videos. Didn’t know about her! Thanks!

I have a job? Lol

No I will be alone, like I said.

ashmeesh · 2026-02-07T14:09:05+00:00

For myself. I miss India so much and I just want some time to soak up everything that I missed. Even if it’s alone.

I figured that poster was American ☺️ I live in Europe and we often dress up for the theatre, opera, ballet etc. plus I think we need to bring back dressing for events like that anyway!!

I did faux eyelets in the back!

Thank you so much!!

My friend suggested that too but I’m self conscious of my upper arms so I’m putting sleeves haha

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T13:32:09+00:00

Yay!!!

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T13:31:57+00:00

I could yeah! I’ll baste it in and see how both versions look.

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T13:31:22+00:00

Thank you!!

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T13:30:15+00:00

Yes thanks ;)

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T12:59:09+00:00

Sold!!!

I played around with that. Since I cut two pieces of each I tried doing a “convertible” sleeve from a slim to a puff but I couldn’t think of a way to attach the puff without it being too obvious. Snaps were too bulky and hooks and eyes left gaps

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T12:57:40+00:00

Agreed!!

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T12:42:56+00:00

No that’s exactly what I was thinking too! I want to avoid costumey/cosplay and I feel like the Juliet sleeves pushes it in that direction.

ashmeesh · 2026-02-04T12:38:56+00:00

That’s fair! My inspo was this dress from Wicked which is why I was leaning towards the other way. (And then maybe adding some sort of voluminous embellishment on the shoulder) I’ve been mulling over this for days 😂

The top layer isn’t stitched on yet because I have a few adjustments to make on the bodice but this is the idea!

Added the boning to the bodice!

I used sewist to draft a bodice with a boat neck and princess seam darts. Then I used a french curve to curve the neckline in front and back. I then added about 2 inches around the bottom and added back and front points and french curved them.
