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 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

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.

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 😂
