| Girl's Dress, c.1837, from LACMA. |
Sleeves at the end of the 1830s are just so fun and odd. They really can't get any bigger, but I find it intriguing how instead of making them smaller up top or larger towards the wrist, the makers experiment with shifting the bulk towards the elbow, and just containing the large quantities of fabrics retained through the upper arm area.
