sleeve issues

[liadethornegge]

Also, I finished the second mutton-chop sleeve enough to stitch it into the English fitted gown, and though the general idea and shape is nice, they are still too big. They are huge echoing cavern into which I can fit my arms, plus a bagful of waddle. I am not happy. And I did not take a photo.

I -want- them to be nice but I don't know how to fix it. It seems an impossible task. Nonesuch Lady 1 has some room left in her sleeves, but they are skintight compared to mine. *whine*
