Undersleeves (Bishop with Frill)

Not my project, but last weekend's sewing did include this pair of undersleeves:

Long undersleeves of lawn.
A friend had cut them out already, and I sewed them while she made some final adjustments to dress and collar. The material was a smooth lawn with moderate body (from Mill End, if I recall correctly); the shape is a moderately full bishop sleeve, with a ruffle set in the cuff, and the upper edge hemmed (not gathered into another band). The cuffs close with hooks and eyes.

I'm really please with how the
ruffles' rolled hems turned out.
