sleeves

[ursula]

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?

Did you look at the picture I linked to hanksan? The same piece of documentation links to this:

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