27. Sleeve for Fig 24

This narrow sleeve has an extension forming a cuff, which may be worn over the hand or tumed back, showing the lining or a contrasting facing.

The sleeve is adapted from the Błock, with the wist widened (here by 5 cm) to a slip-on fit.

Measure the armhole of the gown bodice to find the $leeve head increase, here 4 cm.

Tracę the Błock and cut it in two along the Front linę. Rule a new extended Front linę on fresh paper. Centre the cut pieces on this linę, half the sleeve head increase apart (here 2 cm) all the way down, and pastę them in position.

Divide the other half of the increase between the upper and lower BP (here 1 cm at each) and redraw the sleeve head. Widen the wrist just enough to slip over the hand, and mark the balance points, A.

Draw new seam lines, BP-A, checking they are of equal length.

Lengthen the sleeve below the wrist by 10-15 cm. Make the cuff end wide enough to flarę when turned back over the sleeve. Check on the pattern by folding it back at the wrist, then tracę it off. For a tight-fitting sleeve see Fig 31.
