The Princess Pleated Sleeve is a refreshing twist on a
one-piece sleeve where the underarm seam is moved toward the front and the
outside of the sleeve includes additional length that is pleated into the
resulting princess seam. This unique sleeve can be incorporated into virtually
any type of garment such as jackets, dresses, blouses, tops, shirts, etc., and
can be drafted using either the Dress Kit or the Shirt Kit Sleeve pattern,
depending on how you want the sleeve to fit.
The sleeve can be 3/4 or full length,
depending on personal preference.
The same sleeve treatment can also be added
to pant legs or skirt panels (as the technical illustration suggests) (Personally, I think this pleat detail would be really cute in summer cropped leg pants).
Lightweight, drapey fabric will result in soft,
feminine pleats; while fabric with a firmer hand will result in more structured
pleats. To get the Leaflet, Click Here
