DIAGRAM 49.—This style of sleeve is worn with shirt waists, dresses and
wash fabrics.
Sometimes the sleeve head is plain or with only a slight fullness, but
it may have a large and full sleeve head.
In case it is to be plain or to have only a slight fullness, use an
ordinary sleeve pattern and lay the top and undersides together at the
elbow O, and closing at top P, or separated only 2 or 3 inches for some
little fullness.
In this position it is open at the bottom, V to Z.
The lower curve is drawn from T through Z and V to U, as illustrated.
There is no elbow-seam, as the sleeve is cut in one piece.
A modification of this sleeve is to gather it in from 1 to 2, close to
the arm, which gives a loose sleeve above these points and a ruffle
effect at the bottom.
This sleeve can be cut for a puff effect by using the top of a large
sleeve such as has been shown.
