sleeves
I'm trying to make sleeves like the ones worn by the woman in the lower left-hand corner or the girl with an apron in the back of this painting:

How do people think they would have been fastened on the upper arm & wrist? Buttons? Lace? Pins? A couple of stitches?

My 2p...
I'd hazard a guess that the girl in the back has her sleeves either pinned at the shoulder point, or possibly laced. The wrist probably has a single lacing.
The girl in the front probably has them attached directly to the bodice (or it's an underdress), and laced up the forearm a little ways.

Just my theories, feel free to ignore 'em ;)

As usual, I strongly suspect there were many different solutions employed at the time.
I do wonder why buttons are unfashionable in Italy at this point, as they had been fashionable the century before, and men, at least, sometimes have buttons at their collars... perhaps it is yet another way they were trying to be 'classical'.

which has really obvious lacing at the wrist, but that's a very different effect.
